\u00a0The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriot\u00adic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says Ghana\u2019s premier international airport, the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), will begin the use of eGates before the end of this year for check-in.<\/p>\n
Dr Bawumia said this during a meeting with some religious lead\u00aders in Cape Coast in the Central Region on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, before the end of this year, if you arrive in Ghana at Kotoka International Airport, you don\u2019t have to go to an immigra\u00adtion officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are putting together the eGate, just put in your Ghana card and it will open for you.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe eGate will come into work in Ghana before the end of the year,\u201d Dr Bawumia assured.<\/p>\n
An electronic gate auto\u00admatically processes passengers through passport control.<\/p>\n
It uses facial recognition technology and e-passport to check one\u2019s identity. It\u2019s quick and secure.<\/p>\n
One can use the eGates if he or she is 14 years or more and have an e-passport from an eligi\u00adble country.<\/p>\n
Vice President Bawumia had been meeting stakeholders across the country to solicit their input into the NPP 2024 Election Manifesto.<\/p>\n
Dr Bawumia has been reit\u00aderating his plans to implement a flat tax rate in 2025 after granting tax amnesty to every individual in the country, stressing that the country\u2019s gold reserves could be used to stabilise the Cedi.<\/p>\n
He said his government would resource the Geological Survey Authority and technical universi\u00adties to undertake exploration of the seven gold belts in the country in order to ensure that the gold concessions produced positive outcomes.<\/p>\n
Moreover, he repeated his plans to establish a Minerals De\u00advelopment Bank to support small- scale miners to source funding for their businesses, noting that the sector could generate USD3 billion dollars annually.<\/p>\n
On improving fiscal discipline, the NPP Flagbearer assured that his administration would make sure the Fiscal Responsibility Council operated independently with oversight over the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n
He promised to downsize his government\u2019s expenditure by three per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which amounted to about GH\u00a230 billion every year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
