The huge amount is alleged to have come from the coffers of former President John Dramani Mahama who is also against the compilation of a new biometric register. Daily Guide has sighted a letter purportedly coming from the so-called coalition against new voters’ register to the office of the former president which requested and got approval for funds for the demonstration in Kumasi last Tuesday.
