For the first time, passports are being delivered to Ghanaians wherever and whenever they need them.
The stress of returning to Passport Application Centres to pick up passports is no more.
It was an amazing experience yesterday joining Ghana Post to deliver our new chip-embedded passports to Ghanaians who applied for their passports less than two weeks ago.
More than 5,000 new chip-embedded passports are being delivered via courier in all 16 regions of Ghana this week.
With this intervention, we have ended the phenomenon of uncollected passports due to frustration and inconvenience (remember I inherited over 70,000 uncollected passports).
This is what we mean by resetting.
We keep our promises. ???????? ????????
