General News of Wednesday, 12 August 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comAkufo-Addo’s silence on voters registration violence: Experts share thoughtsAssociate Professor of political science, Ransford Gyampo and Political Strategist, Dr Kobby MensahTo many politicians and stakeholders who oppose the ideologies of the ruling government, the president has barely paid any service to all the reported cases of electoral violence recorded in the just-ended voters' registration exercise. It would be recalled that there were widespread media reports of intimidation of some residents by military personnel at registration centres along the border communities of the country. Paramount these infractions was Mavis Hawa Koomson’s involvement in an incident of gun-firing at a polling centre in her constituency. This incident heaped pressure on President Akufo-Addo to make a pronouncement about all the reported cases of violence. Professor Gyampo, with particular reference to the case involving Hawa Koomson, said the president’s silence is in a way justifiable.
