After the completion of the Phase I of the registration, the NIA blamed the low turn out on the registration on Public Sector workers. It expressed that, an estimate of 250,000 to 260,000 Public Sector Workers are without the cards, according to data provided by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) .
The planned Second Phase is to allow more registrants to have access to the Ghana Card.
