The Minister of Communications, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, says the government is committed to supporting the Electoral Commission to go biometric.
That, he said, was to ensure that the country developed a more robust infrastructure to further improve the credibility of elections.
He said the government was committed to ensuring that Information and Communications Technology (ICT) was mainstreamed in all activities to ensure that it was used to enhance democracy in the country.
Mr Iddrisu was speaking at the inauguration of a new ICT laboratory at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Friday, during which he pledged 100 computers for the laboratory.
He said his ministry would collaborate with the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) to ensure that the facility received the 100 computers.
The computers, which he said would include 50 laptops and 50 desktops, were to ensure increased access to ICT at the university.
Huawei Technologies Ghana provided 15 laptops for the facility.
Mr Iddrisu commended Huawei for the gesture, saying its support was an appropriate response to the need to equip students with ICT skills to meet global standards.
Ms Diana Ayem, The Managing Director of Huawei Technologies Ghana, noted that her company had products in over 100 countries and had served 45 of the world’s top 50 telecom operators, as well as one-third of the world’s population.
