According to Kofi Bentil, the EC since it announced that it will compile new register has not been able to explain to experts and Ghanaians why they decided to do so. IMANI Africa was part of some Civil Society Groups that were invited to the new voters' register meeting which ended inconclusively. Referencing some examples around the world, Kofi Bentil said every country that tries to introduce biometric systems for the first are always faced with challenges. Kofi Bentil noted that the only explanation for EC's action is that the country will spend money to buy trouble for the 2020 general elections.
