General News of Wednesday, 5 August 2020Source: Starr FMVoters register: Journalist's nationality challengedStarr FM news anchor Atiewin Mbillah-LawsonStarr FM news anchor Atiewin Mbillah-Lawson has had her nationality challenged while attempting to register for her voter’s ID card. According to the award-winning broadcaster, party agents at a registration centre at Pokuase in Accra challenged her nationality on the basis that she could not speak local dialects Twi or English. “My registration was challenged so I don’t have an I.D now. The development comes in the wake of claims by the opposition NDC that government is deliberately frustrating efforts by minority groups to register. “The NDC is desperately trying to undermine the simple and peaceful exercise of voters’ registration into one of ethnocentrism, outright fabrications, needless exaggerations, and old fashioned fear-mongering propaganda and inferior communists tactics”.
