Then from this where do we go? What do we want? Then we all debate that one also.  And agree that this is what we want before you go looking for the person who will supply what you want. <\/p>\n<p>In this Jean Mensa scenario, they have looked for the person who will supply what we want without us knowing what we want. Before coming to talk to us about the need to change. Why is it that they are now arguing with Ghanaians and trying to convince us the need to change the register when they are already procuring?<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t established the need to change the existing system, why are you already in procurement?<\/p>\n<p>See,  so they have turned the whole thing upside down.  Look for a material, sew a shirt, before you go and look for the person to take his measurement. That is what they are doing,\u201d Mr Asiedu Nketia explained at the press conference.<\/p>\n<p>At the press conference, opposition parties announced a series of demonstrations to be embarked upon against the Electoral Commission ( EC)  over the plans to compile a new voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n<p>The EC has however had its budget approved by Parliament so that it can compile a new voters\u2019 register and therefore maintained that the current voters\u2019 register is overstretched even though credible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Wednesday, 8 January 2020 Source: mynewsgh.com 2020-01-08 NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia General Secretary of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has argued that there is no need for a new voters\u2019 register noting that the Electoral Commission\u2019s haste in deciding that there is the need for a new voters\u2019 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":768377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-778473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
