The chairperson of the Electoral Commission has been warned by Nana Akwasi Bosompra I, the paramount chief of the Goaso Traditional Area in the Ahafo Region, not to cause tension in the country.
His response follows the EC’s chair, Jean Adukwei Mensa’s, decision to limit its handling of the limited voter registration exercise to its district offices.
He claims that a sizable portion of Ghanaians who live in areas remote from the district offices could be disenfranchised as a result of the commission’s decision.
The Paramount Chief made this declaration at a 1Family Radio-covered celebration of his 15th anniversary of enstoolment in Goaso.
“What is our mother, Jean Mensa, doing? She has been to Ahafo before; she knows the towns that are after Esumira; she knows the communities that are after Kasapin.’’
“So if these people are to register, they should find three people who would be their guarantors, and the person would have to transport all these people to the district office of the EC at Goaso. Are you going to give them transportation?’’ He asked.
“I’m begging her; she should look at how Mary gave birth to Jesus for us. She shouldn’t let any confusion befall this country because of a woman,’’ he said.
