The Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has described the new proposed Constitutional Instrument (CI) by the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Adukwei Mensa over her decision to use the Ghana Card as the sole document for registration for the 2024 general elections as ”bogus”.
Hon. Kennedy Agyapong said that it makes no sense that the Ghana Card would suddenly be raised above the Ghana Passport in determining the identity of citizens.
‘‘The new CI laid in Parliament by the Electoral Commission is bogus,’’ Hon. Kennedy Agyapong told Sompa FM.
’I am against it. Ghana has people taking bogus decisions. We have a whole Ghana passport, but you (EC) claim that to register to vote you can’t use it to register as a voter. What makes me know that I am a Ghanaian? It is my passport”, the lawmaker added.
The new Constitutional Instrument (CI) seeks to see the elimination of the guarantor system for all first-time registrants to the country’s electoral register.
