Download What’s the controversy with Ghana’s new ID card?
Ghanaians have been given until the end of March to get new high-tech biometric identity cards. The government says the cards, which include the user’s finger print, photo and retinal scan, will improve government services, cut fraud and allow people to travel across different countries in Africa without a visa. But, as they’re also linked to sim cards, people are worried that if they can’t get one in time, they’ll lose the use of their phones for calls and mobile money.
