Deputy Minister of Finance and Member of Parliament for Atiwa East constituency, Abena Osei-Asare has cautioned her constituent against joining in the demonstration against the Electoral Commission to compile a new voter’s register.
According to the Atiwa East lawmaker in her opinion it is only the EC who has the authority to compile a new register.
She told her constituents that the EC says there is a problem with the old register, and the amount of money going to be spent on the old one the cost is higher than the new voters register.
And further noted that a new feature would be added where the machine would capture facial recognition, when your tomb gives you a problem the facial is there, he added that in life we do things to improve our life.
“Let us pray for the EC to have its peace of mind to do its work and hope for the best when the time comes for EC to open the register the youth would come out in their numbers to register, as their civic responsibility”.
She made this appeal when she cut sod for the construction of an Astroturf at the Atiwa East constituency.
Mrs. Abena Osei-Asare further noted that Togo, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso have an election to contest this year and it should be peaceful, and all these elections depend on the youths in these countries.
“The youth should know the world is watching us, let us maintain peace in our sub-region so that we can have development”.
