The current Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC) Jean Mensah has caused a lot of confusion in Ghana’s electoral system than her forerunners, a private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai has said.
Mr Abdulai explained on the New Day programme with Johnnie Hughes on TV3 that Mrs Mensa, when she was the Executive Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), ,gave a lot of practical and thought-through measures that should be undertaken by the Commission in order to better the electoral system.
However, he said, when given the opportunity to serve as the Chair of the elections management body, she has neglected all those measures to adopt new ones that in his opinion, do not help the system.
Mr Abdulai said these while contributing to issues that have emerged from the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.Mr Richard Kumadoe, a Security Consultant said on the same programme also that “Our proudness as Ghanaians is being derailed.“I deal with the community and they say it to my face that we are failing. This is a major job you have done and you actions and inactions have security implications in relation to national development and you need cohesion as much as you did and look at the mess.”
