Member of Parliament [MP] for Manhyia North constituency in the Ashanti Region, Collins Owusu Amankwa says they [NPP] will never be moved by agitations from members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He accuses the NDC of attempting to use the Ghana card initiative to score "cheap political points" in their unbridled quest to unseat the current government in the next general elections.
Speaking on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ programme the Manhyia North MP stated, “NDC should know by now that we are not moved by their agenda of wanting to generate controversy with every issue just to score cheap political points”.
“We will not in any way succumb to their agitations. Indeed, we will make sure the right things through the appropriate procedures are done in this country because we will not do things to please any citizen especially the largest opposition party [NDC] when the procedure is wrong,” he said.
Hon Amankwah further opined that the NDC is perhaps worried that soon the Ghana card will become a primary document when one intends to register for a voter’s identity card.
"This plan, they [NDC] are very much aware will prevent them from manipulating the system to win power. All things being equal we cannot get a perfect system, but the voters ID will be the worse-off instrument to acquire a Ghana card,” Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwa insisted.

Anonymous, you said your NHIS is not working. I wish it is through so that you can also have a taste of what people went through during your John Mahama era
Those below 18years have no Voter's ID. NDC, please tell us what has to be used to register people under 18years onto the Ghana Card
The national destroyers company, ndc can go to hell but Ghanaians will continue to do the card. Me for instance I have received my ECOWAS ID CARD; republic of Ghana..... Ghanaians go for yours now & ignore the horrible ndc... 😎
NDC in trouble, it banked all its hope on Charlotte Osei and was woefully disappointed. As of now, she is struggling to keep her job and thus has no time for NDC's so-called election 2020 program. WELL NO VOTERID CARD IS ADMISSIBLE FOR GHANA CARD REGISTRATION. JUST BRING ONE RELATIVE OF YOURS OR TWO GHANAIANS TO GUARANTEE FOR YOU. Is this difficult to do? Why is NDC silent on that?
You NPP people are notorious for (and experts in) using every and anything to score cheap political points when in opposition so you are one to talk. Stop whining and build the factories and dam. By the way my NHIS card is not being accepted oooh yooo.
