General News of Saturday, 16 May 2020Source: myxyzonline.comNew register: EC’s posture borne out of 'greed and self-centeredness' – CARE GhanaDavid Kumi Addo and Jean Mensa, EC ChairPressure group Care for Free and Fair Elections Ghana (CARE GHANA) has alleged that the insistence of the Electoral Commission (EC) to compile a new voters’ register in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the “greed and self-centeredness” of it’s appointed Commissioners. The obligation to return favor for an initial favor is blurring the reasoning of the commissioners, thereby turning the Electoral Commission (EC) which is an institution of higher repute into an institution of no repute. The insistence to compile a new voter’s register as infection rates of COVID – 19 increases exponentially is obviously born by greed and self-centeredness. This however informs the lies and deception galvanizing the EC’s activities in its desperate move to compile a new voter’s register. For some time now, some well meaning Ghanaians including Civil Society Organization SCOs such as “CARE” GHANA continue to gnaw at the EC’s decision to compile a new voters register stating the numerous threats and difficulties ahead.
