Vice President of Ghana Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has noted that the introduction of the Ghana Card which provides a unique identity system in the country will end the phenomenon of age cheating in sports.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made this known when he was buttressing his point that he will choose the Ghana Card over a thousand interchanges citing its impact in national development.
“Fake birth certificates was a big problem for our country and it made it very difficult for people to trust our documents at embassies and everywhere because people will just go and have fake birth certificates.
“Once you have a unique identity you’ll not have fake birth certificates as there will be no football age versus normal age. That business will come to an end.
“Recently you would know that our women’s team was banned for presenting some overaged players. Hopefully now we are going to strictly require that they bring their Ghana card before they are going to be registered to play,” he said.
