Executive Secretary for the National Identification Authority (NIA), Yayra Koku, has noticed that the Authority's operational inefficiencies over the years has been due to the frequent restructuring the Authority has had to go through.
According to him, in the past, Act 707 did not place NIA under any ministry and left the determination of the ministry to the government of the day.
This, he believes, disrupted the Authority and brought about various operational inefficiencies. "Again, Act 707 did not place NIA under any Ministry and leaves the determination of the Ministry to the Government of the day.
Under past Governments, the Authority has oscillated between the Ministry of State in charge of public services, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation and currently, the Ministry of the Interior.
