Residents are unhappy with the conduct of NIA staff.

A frustrated resident, Adongo Prosper told this reporter that, his attempt to approach officials for explanation regarding the stoppage was met with insult from a local focal person of the exercise.
“This is a farming season, you cannot deceive people to stop their work, walk here, just for you to park your machines and walkout.” A resident fumed. For Proper, this is part of the grand schemes to frustrate poor farmers to stay away from participating in the exercise so as to derail the chances of the National Democratic Congress.
He added that the actions of the NIA must be checked and tamed before their conduct throw the nation’s democracy to the dogs.
Efforts to speak to one Ignatus Yaw Ayirah, local NIA focal person in-charge of the exercise prove futile as calls placed to his MTN went unanswered.
The NIA’s card distribution exercise is currently been engulfed with controversies.
