The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says Ghana's premier international airport, the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), will begin the use of eGates before the end of this year for check-in.
Dr Bawumia said this during a meeting with some religious leaders in Cape Coast in the Central Region on Monday. "In fact, before the end of this year, if you arrive in Ghana at Kotoka International Airport, you don't have to go to an immigration officer. "We are putting together the eGate, just put in your Ghana card and it will open for you. "The eGate will come into work in Ghana before the end of the year," Dr Bawumia assured.
An electronic gate automatically processes passengers through passport control.
It uses facial recognition technology and e-passport to check one's identity.
