Let us join hands to ensure that every Ghanaian is able to register, and nobody will be left out,” Mrs Jean Mensa said at a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s registration exercise.

She disclosed more than 44,000 registration officers have been recruited for the voter registration exercise.

“A major concern a number of citizens have raised with us has to do with the quality of our temporary officers. We have recruited, trained, and deployed over 44, 000 staff into the field. We are confident that the training provided them to operate efficiently and professionally. As part of the training, we have drummed home the importance of instilling in them the principles of integrity, fairness, and transparency in all their activities throughout the registration process.

“It is important to note that the Ghana Health Service released some 7,000 health assistance to each of the registration centres nationwide. It is expected that the health assistance will assist us in ensuring strict adherence to the safety protocols outlined by the Electoral Commission and all of these safety measures, we will rely on your cooperation dear citizens,” she said.

This extension restores the two registration days (27th and 28th December) lost to the Region because of the Christmas holidays. It also takes account of the challenges encountered in the first two (2) days of the exercise in many communities across the Region where citizens couldn’t register due to the late transportation of some registration equipment to registration centres by contracted third parties, and/or the late arrival of some registration officials at their centres, despite Management’s best efforts at averting same.

However, Mr. James Kofi Owusu whose Ghana Card was on the pending list, today went to Bronikrom Presbyterian Church where he registered for his Card, but unfortunately, NIA Officials at the center had asked him to go to Suyani for his Cars after they found out his name is not in their List.
