The flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has announced that there are plans to switch to E-Gates at the Kotoka International Airport by the end of this year.
According to the Vice President, these E-Gates will be installed in the arrival section of the airport, eliminating the need for travelers to undergo immigration checks upon arrival.
Dr Bawumia made this announcement during a meeting with the clergy in Cape Coast, marking the start of his Central Regional tour on Monday, June 3.
He emphasised that the government is committed to digitizing most state institutions to make them more accessible to Ghanaians.
“In fact, before the end of this year if you arrive in Ghana at Kotoka Airport you don’t need to go to an immigration officer, we are putting together the E-gates, you put in your Ghana card it will open for you, and you pass and enter. The E-gates will work in Ghana before the end of this year,” he stated.
In addition, Dr Bawumia expressed his desire to have an “open and frank discussion” with religious and faith-based organisations regarding school management, particularly focusing on discipline.
