EzWich: "A step in the right direction or a farce"

Just last month the national Bank Of Ghana announced that it was introducing a new payment system named "EzWich" that will allow for people to receive and make payments electronically by the use of a smart card that can only be used by a biometric identification system that only allows for transactions to be made by scanning the thumb of the card holder and comes with the full backing of all commercial and rural banks in the country. This prevents theft and fraud and makes the whole payment transaction easier. But one might ask "will this system be effective much less catch on with the public?". Lets take a look at the current situation with the so called national identification system whereby all citizens where required to be issued with identification cards that are linked to their voter's id number as well as social security number. Up till now it seems as if the project is still stuck at its launch phase and every single person I know and have talked to about it says they thought the whole idea was scrapped and even though its a laudable idea, the logistical enormity of the whole thing will just not make it possible. So this brings me back to the EzWich system, will it work? or will it just turn out to be another failed project of the government. Let me hear your thoughts on this post. Kindly leave a comment.
