The posture and the behaviour of the National Identification Authority ( NIA) is shameful, disrespectful and indiscipline to say the least, amidst president's ban on social gathering and all related activities that puts the lives and the health of citizens at risk. Last week Sunday 15th March, 2020 at 10 pm when the president of the republic of Ghana gave an executive order on social gathering, it was expected that all state institutions will comply in our bid to fight the COVID-19 and in solidarity and in support of the president's order. It was least expected that respected institution like the NIA would flout and violate the orders of the president. NIA boss should be call to order by the president and all should condemn the disregard for this simple instruction by the NIA . What would be the use of the NIA card if all those registered die? Those of us who have registered know that it is not possible to avoid contact during the registration. Our health system is fragile and we can not take things for granted, we are fearless but not careless. All other institutions disregarding and undermining this preventive measures of containing the COVID-19 should face the full regors of the law under no uncertain terms.
