General News of Tuesday, 15 December 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comJustice Srem Sai criticises CODEO, media for pretending they can validate EC’s figuresLaw lecturer, Justice Srem SaiLaw lecturer, Justice Srem Sai, has criticised the media and election observers for not coming clean about their inability to properly validate some of the contested results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC) in the December 7 elections. He said while the validity of EC’s collated and published figures for the election results are being challenged, the Commission must re-collate the pink sheet figures from the polling stations instead of merely restating the contested collated results. “First of all, the Joys, the Citis and the CODEOs [Coaliton of Domestic Election Observers] of this world have no capacity to collect raw voter figures independently. “So, one would expect that these media houses and observer groups would be frank and tell the public that they’re not in the position to speak to the validity of the EC’s collated figures? Yet, they are there pretending to be corroborating the EC’s figures,” the law lecturer at GIMPA wrote on Facebook.
