The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised key questions regarding the missing kits that have stirred up controversy surrounding the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana. These questions aim to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the theft, the efforts made to recover the equipment, and the protocols followed for the safekeeping of such devices. The NDC is particularly concerned about the deployment of Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) to polling stations, emphasizing the critical need to uphold the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process.
The NDC has compiled a list of specific questions for the EC to address, which include inquiries such as whether the missing kits have been located, when and where they were found, and the number of kits that remain missing. They also seek information on the serial numbers of the missing items, the purchasing invoices, and the inventory records kept by the EC prior to the theft. Additionally, the NDC is keen to understand the timeline of events from when the EC became aware of the theft to the reporting to the police, as well as the status of any investigations or arrests related to the incident.
The NDC’s decision to pose these questions signals their dedication to holding the EC accountable and ensuring transparency in Ghana’s electoral process. By seeking detailed answers, the NDC aims to reassure the public and prevent any potential compromises in the upcoming elections. The pressure on the EC continues to mount as stakeholders await their response to these pressing concerns, with the spotlight firmly on the EC’s actions and efforts to address the situation.
As of now, the EC has not yet provided written answers to the NDC’s inquiries, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding the missing kits. With the elections drawing nearer, it is imperative for the EC to respond promptly and transparently to address the uncertainties raised by the NDC and other interested parties. The outcome of this investigation will not only determine the accountability of the EC but also influence the trust and confidence in Ghana’s electoral system. It is crucial for all parties involved to cooperate and ensure a fair and credible electoral process for the benefit of the Ghanaian people.
