For our country, holding free, fair and credible elections, on time, is amongst the best ways to continue to keep our peace, and remain democratic. It is such an important duty for governments that every responsible government makes planning for, and support to elections, a major priority. However, time and again, under this George Weah-led government, we have to postpone elections and delay by-elections because the government says it has no money for elections. This way, we keep the business of electoral protests under NEC, as the Constitution instructs, but free up the NEC Commissioners to concentrate on the other business of the elections. It has the same people against whom some of the protests are actually being brought to hear and decide it.
