I am waiting on them to cite a specific example; I am still waiting for their response,\u201d he dared.<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking on the Big Bite show on Xfm 95.1, a privately owned commercial radio station in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Citing an instance, Dr Ahadzie said the people who signed the letter are part of a committee that management set up to make proposals about security for the authority pending a security policy from the governing board. He says the members have failed to submit their report and wondered why they will turn round to say that the security system is not functional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026the members of this committee have not submitted the security report so it is quite interesting for them to come round and say that the security is not functional as clearly they have the responsibility to provide the security report which has not been done yet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He chided his accusers for not using the right channel to address their problems other than the media, adding that their allegations should be discarded with all contempt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is strange to other members of management that this group has come up with this, when everybody has an opportunity to raise issues at management meetings. I think this is cowardice; it is malicious, and must be condemned in the strongest language possible\u2026It is a very cheap approach adopted; we have a forum for discussing management issues, you do not take advantage of the forum and then you go back to leak things to the press. I think it is an attempt to damage the image of the authority and this has implications,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dr Ahadzie says the National Identification Authority would soon launch a distribution of the identification cards, hopefully, next week as all preparatory works have been done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rest is here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.peacefmonline.com\/news\/201102\/139547.php\" title=\"NIA Boss Dares Accusers To Substantiate Allegations Or...\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIA Boss Dares Accusers To Substantiate Allegations Or&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Dr. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-284835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
