Coalition membersThe members of the coalition include the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), IMANI Africa, SEND Ghana, Africa Centre for International Law and Accountability (ACILA), Financial Accountability and Transparency, Africa (FAT-Africa), Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) and Youth Bridge Foundation. EC’s focusThe EC, Mr Bentil said had focused on technical issues as the major motivation for a new voters register, and that the Commission had mentioned the vulnerability of current systems and equipment. The EC places a lot of emphasis on STL’S purported correspondence about the costs of refurbishment and fresh procurement. The EC cannot be in a position to seriously assess the quality of the existing system if it relies on the information provided by a single vendor or narrow set of vendors. We, therefore, do not support the proposal for a New Voters Register by the EC.
