Currently, nothing is more dangerous to the welfare of Ghanaians than the current election management body led by Jean Mensah.

It is time, Jean Mensah and the rest of her lieutenants begin to think about the welfare of Ghanaians and heed to the call by many reasonable civil society organisations.

In the past, IPAC was very instrumental in the decision making process of the EC. Same can't be said today under the arrogant, mischievous, intolerant and politically induced Election management body instituted by Akuffo Addo.

The safety of Ghanaians must be of great concern to every state institution tasked to perform a constitutional mandate for and on behalf of the citizens.
Of what benefit is election to the sick and the dead? Why the rush to compile a register in this abnormal time?
We can't and shouldn't substitute the wellbeing of Ghanaians with election fortunes!

It is very despicable for a public servant who is being paid from the Consolidated fund to stand in as a representative of a political party during IPAC meetings. The dangerous precedent set by Mr. Anokye of the NIA deserves condemnation by any Ghanaian of sound mind having considered the magnitude of powers at the disposal of the NIA in the management of the National data.

To add more insult to injury, same Mr. Anokye revealed that, the EC will rely on their data to register Ghanaians for election 2020. How can one guarantee fairness in such a circumstance while the NIA has deployed few and faulty machines and human resource to the strongholds of the NDC during their nationwide registration leading to low turn out in those regions and did vice versa in the strongholds of the NPP?

The broad day light conspiracy to rig the 2020 elections in favor of their paymaster's is very alarming.

The EC must come clean on the numerous allegations leveled against it or else the outcome of the 2020 elections may not be accepted by all in good faith.
This is not the first commissioner and this will not be the last commissioner in the dispensation of our democratic governance. The predecessors of Jean Mensah are still alive and have worked to the admiration of many Ghanaians to the extent that, the international community continues to employ their service in the sub-region.

The cause of most elections violence in the world are caused by manipulation and rigging attempts by the Election management body and Jean Mensah and her deputies should learn lessons from such occurrences.

We must at all time serve the state in good faith as public servants and not to dance to tune of our appointment authorities.

The EC and the NIA must tread cautiously in order not to endanger the lives of Ghanaians in this COVID-19 era in the name of a "new register".!
