    Hon .Elvis Ankrah reads the NDC proposed reforms

    The former Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie of the NDC has revealed some so-called achievements and proposed Reforms by the EC.

    NDC’s Proposed Reforms

    The Ghanaian Politician stated at the Press conference that, after a painstaking review of the 2020 elections, the following are the preliminary proposals for electoral reforms which the NDC intends to engage various stakeholders such as the media, civil society organizations, religious leaders, traditional leaders, development partners, the diplomatic community, and the general public.

    These preliminary proposals are as follows:

    1. That, the participation of IPAC and its advisory role in the electoral process should be given legal backing, without encroaching on the constitutional independence of the Electoral Commission.


    2. That, the EC adopts an equitable voting formula for political parties in IPAC deliberations based on their representation in Parliament.

    3. That, the Electoral Commission complies with the use of the legally-prescribed Statement of Poll/Pink Sheet (Form 8A & 8B) provided for in our Election Regulations to prevent the omission of BVD entries so as to preserve the ballot accounting process and makes it possible to check multiple voting, ballot stuffing, impersonation and other forms of rigging.


    4. That, the high rate of rejected ballots recorded in the 2020 general elections be addressed through the use of the appropriate ink pads and that same should be stipulated in our election regulations.


    5. That, the EC employs and trains highly competent staff to accurately fill election result forms and collate results so as to forestall the reoccurrence of the widespread cases of arithmetic errors recorded in the 2020 general elections,

    6. That, the Electoral Commission reverts to the time-tested election security arrangement where the deployment of security for election purposes is reserved to the Ghana Police service acting within a framework provided by the Electoral Commission. This security arrangement should have minimum involvement of the military and no interference whatsoever by so-called National Security operatives, as recommended by the Emil Short Commission.
    The party has constituted a committee to come up with a compressive document on electoral reform proposals and we shall share that with you in the coming days.

    Boycott IPAC

    Ghanaian Politician and Former Minister of Youth and sports, Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie reveals the so-called Achievement and Proposed Reforms by the EC in her speech at IPAC.

    He Said, the National Democratic Congress has decided to boycott IPAC temporarily due to the bastardization of that revered body by the Jean Mensah/Bossman Asare-led Electoral Commission.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the framers of the 1992 Constitution in their wisdom created the Electoral Commission as an independent institution to perform its constitutional functions without the control of any person or group of persons. The independence given to the EC under the 1992 Constitution is based on the presumption that the Electoral Commission will at all times perform its duties conscientiously in the ultimate interest of Ghana. However, this does not mean that the Commission is not accountable to the people and can therefore decide to act whimsically or capriciously in ways that undermine our democratic experiment.

    ALSO SEE: Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie Reveals the Critical Analysis of the So-called Proposed Reforms by the EC

    Unfortunately, the Jean Mensa led Electoral Commission has misinterpreted this independence to mean arrogance and non-accountability. And it is sad that the Supreme Court of the country endorsed this irresponsible conduct of the EC and allowed them to get away with the embarrassment they caused this country in the 2020 general elections.

    Boycott IPAC

    Ladies and Gentlemen, one unique convention of Ghana’s electoral system which has become international best practice is the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC). The rationale for IPAC, as it has been over the years, is to create a platform for consensus building on major issues affecting elections with key stakeholders involved in elections.

    Boycott IPAC

    Over the years, IPAC has served Ghana well as a platform where ideas are shared on various issues, before the EC takes substantive decisions on critical electoral matters. Indeed, to promote transparency in our electoral process, IPAC has been involved in the drafting of Constitutional Instruments on elections as well as procurement processes of the EC under previous Chairpersons. IPAC is supposed to serve as a platform where political parties participate in all electoral activities throughout the electoral cycle, such as, voter registration, exhibition of the voters register, printing of ballot papers, observing the voting process at all polling stations through polling agents as well as collation of results at both the constituency and national levels.

    Unfortunately, since the June 2018 ouster of the chairperson of the Electoral Commission and her 2 deputies and their subsequent replacement with Jean Mensa and Bossman Asare, all these best practices have been thrown to the dogs.

    The current leadership of the Electoral Commission has turned IPAC from a consultative and consensus-building platform to an information-sharing platform where the EC only comes to impose its decisions on IPAC without room for meaningful deliberations and exchange of ideas. It became so bad to the point that the EC even announced publicly that IPAC had agreed to the decision to compile a new register for the 2020 elections when the issue of a new register had not even been discussed at the said meeting.

    Hon. Elvis Ankrah Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jean Mensa led EC appears to be in a world of its own. The Commission appears to be tickling itself and laughing. The Electoral Commission has for the first time in our history conducted elections that leaves doubts on the mind of Ghanaians and other observers on the credibility of the elections. The Commission declared wrong results and even after issuing an unsigned press release to subsequently correct same, the figures still do not add up. Instead of taking advantage of the election petition to clear itself of the mess caused, the EC failed to mount the witness box to testify and explain to Ghanaians how it arrived at its results.

    These issues coupled with the non-equitable voting arrangement at IPAC meetings is the reason why we have taken a principled position to boycott IPAC until the right changes are effected to ensure fair and meaningful deliberations at IPAC.

    Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie Reveals the Critical Analysis of the So-called Proposed Reforms by the EC

    So-called Proposed Reforms

    The Ghanaian Politician and Former Minister of Youth and sports, Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie reveals the so-called Achievement and Proposed Reforms by the EC in her speech at IPAC.

    According to the Ghanaian Politician of the NDC, we have taken note of some proposals for reforms that the Electoral Commission has put forward for the consideration of IPAC. However, the first and most important reform required is for the EC to reform itself. Jean Mensa and Bossman Asare must be the first to reform and change their attitude of arrogance and bias.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the media, I will now proceed to do a critical and objective analysis of the four (4) reform proposals put forward by the EC.

    Ghana's top resource for news, sports, business, entertainment & more..
    So-called Proposed Reforms

    So-called Proposed Reforms


    1. Closure of polls at 3 pm in 2024


    Ladies and gentlemen of the media, the NDC finds the proposal by the Jean Mensah-led EC to change the closing time of polls from 5 PM to 3 PM in 2024 baffling and mind-boggling. Since the 1992 elections, polls have always closed at 5 PM. This has worked perfectly without any challenges whatsoever. It, therefore, beggars belief that the EC would want to change this time-tested arrangement and go for a poorly thought-through alternative which is bound to disenfranchise eligible voters and create needless problems for our electoral system.

    ALSO SEE: EPA to Deal with Producers of Pesticides and Herbicides Over Illegal Operations


    This is particularly so given the undue delay we usually record in the delivery of electoral materials to some polling stations and other technical challenges that usually characterize voting in this country.


    Ghanaians will recall how a similar hasty decision by the EC to declare results within 24 hours after closure of polls in the 2020 elections failed miserably and led to the rushed declaration of a patently flawed results that yielded a percentage aggregate of more than 100%, by the Returning Officer, Mr. Jean Adukwei Mensah. One would have thought that Jean Mensah would have learnt the right lessons by now but that appears not to be the case.



    Friends form the media, our position on this proposal is simple. The current arrangement of closing polls at 5 PM has worked perfectly in seven (7) general elections in this country and does not require any fixing. Like the Chairperson said in her speech, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.



    2. Substitution of periodic mass registration with continuous registration.


    We wish to remind the Electoral Commission that the all-round continuous registration of eligible voters is not new. The law requires the Commission to put in place mechanisms to ensure that at any time that citizens become eligible to vote, they can be registered.


    However, continuous registration cannot be a substitute for periodic nationwide registration because the all-round registration can only be done at the district offices of the Electoral Commission. Eligible voters may have to travel several kilometers to district offices to register and not everyone can do this.


    Secondly, political parties always assign agents to observe the voters registration process. It will therefore be ludicrous for the EC to suggest that political parties should employ permanent agents at their district offices to observe the registration of eligible voters all year round.


    This proposal also comes against a major challenge of transparency in verifying the claims of prospective registrants at the district office level.


    3. Introducing an all-year-round Voter Exhibition exercise through the use of technology.



    The proposal by EC to have a year-round exhibition is a laudable idea but cannot be a substitute for the periodic exhibition exercise of the voters register that is normally done after voter registration. This is simply because the Voter exhibition exercise is not only intended to afford voters the opportunity to verify and confirm their details but to also;


    a) ensure ineligible registrants (minors and foreigners) are challenged and removed from the register.

    b) help clean the names of dead people from the register.

    C) afford voters the opportunity to confirm their captured biometric features.

    And this cannot be achieved through the system the EC is proposing.

    Given the errors that occurred in the run-up to the 2020 elections when this system was deployed and the fact that not all Ghanaians have mobile phones to assess this system, it cannot be a replacement for periodic Voters Register Exhibition.

    4. Restrict data entry of election results to the constituency collation level and generate regional and national reports.


    The proposal to have the entry point of data done only at Constituency Collation Centres will introduce another opportunity for rigging through hacking and other means of manipulation of the results. The way to build further efficiencies into the collation process and eliminate inaccuracies is to hire and train competent EC staff to ensure accurate data entry and collation and not to throw away the time-tested practice of collation at the national level.


    Data entry and collation must be done at constituency level and sent to the national collation center for aggregation by the Returning Officer and with the participation of political party representatives. This will ensure accuracy and transparency in the aggregation of constituency results for free and fair election results declaration.

    Former Minister of Youth and Sports Reveals the So-Called Proposed Reforms by EC

    The Ghanaian Politician and Former Minister of Youth and sports, Hon. Elvis Ankrah Afriyie reveals the so-called Achievement and Proposed Reforms by the EC in her speech at IPAC.

    The NDC has taken notice of several false claims made by the chairperson of the Electoral Commission Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensah in her speech delivered at the just-ended two (2)-day workshop between the EC and the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) at Alisa Hotel in Accra.


    According to Hon. Afriyie, the purpose of this press conference is to formally respond to and expose the many unfounded claims peddled by the EC Chairperson in her speech at the program and to explain to you the reasons for our boycott of these IPAC engagements.


    Friends from the media, contrary to the claims by the EC Chairperson that the 2020 general elections was the best ever in the history of this country and calls for the nation to celebrate some so-called unprecedented successes chalked by the EC in the conduct of the elections, the facts show that last year’s elections was one of the most poorly conducted, flawed and manipulated elections in the history of this country, a situation that has undermined the strides we have made since the inception of this 4th republican democratic dispensation. And we say this for the following reasons:

    1. The dubious handling of the printing and distribution of ballot papers and other electoral materials that led to ballot stuffing by the NPP in their strongholds and other regions.



    2. The unprecedented number of rejected ballots recorded in the elections owing largely to the incompetence and recklessness of the EC in using unapproved stamp pads instead of the approved voting ink pad that we have used in previous elections.



    3. The use of illegal Statement of Polls/pink sheets (Form 8B) that omitted BVD entries in about 7,581 polling stations, thereby undermining the ballot accounting process and the integrity of the entire results. This totally belies the the claim by Jean Mensah that only 11,000 people voted by manual verification in the 2020 general elections.



    4. Widespread cases of patent arithmetic errors on the faces of pink sheets and constituency results summary sheets by incompetent EC staff in the filling of electoral forms and aggregation of valid votes.



    5. Manipulation of figures by the EC leading to a disparity between constituency collated results aggregate (13,118,640) and regional collated results aggregates (13,119,460).



    6. Padding of votes at the constituency collation centers in favor of candidate Akufo-Addo.



    7. No proper collation at the national collation center by the Returning Officer for the Presidential elections, Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensah.



    8. Unprecedented cases of state-sponsored violence and killings at constituency collation centers occasioned by the reckless and unlawful conduct of some EC officials and the despotic Akufo-Addo government and in contravention of our time-tested election security arrangement.


    9. Also contrary to the claim that the International community has hailed the conduct of the 2020 general elections as Jean Mensah will have us believe, the European Union is on record to have decried the non-transparency of the collation process for the elections. So flawed was the conduct of the 2020 general elections that for the first time in the history of this country, a whole district made up of the Satrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) communities were deliberately disenfranchised by the EC for the sole purpose of assisting the New Patriotic Parliamentary Candidate, John Peter Amewu win the Hohoe seat. Is this what Jean Mensa and her bias Commission is inviting us to celebrate?

    Hon. Elvis Ankrah
    Former Minister of Youth and Sports Reveals the So-Called Proposed Reforms by EC


    11. Again, the claim by the EC that an amount of $90 million was saved in the conduct of the 2020 general elections is completely contrived. The facts show that the state incurred avoidable financial losses as a result of the procurement of a facial recognition technology by the EC that turned out as a fiasco.

    It is therefore ridiculous and laughable to say the least, that an Electoral Management Body that has failed to pay its temporary staff their allowances, five (5) months after an election will make the claim that they have saved the nation money. We wish to entreat the public to treat this baseless claim with the contempt it deserves and wait for a credible audit into the EC’s expenditure for the 2020 general elections.

    The plan to make critical decisions and actions to stabilize and reorganize systems is now, according to a senior lecturer at the department of planning at the Kwame Nkrumah University of science and technology, Dr. Prince Aboagye Anokye will help in moving the country in the right direction and achieve what it aims at achieving.

    Speaking to GBC news on the issue concerning the demolishing of unauthorized structures along roads in the country, Dr. Anokye says if the exercises are legally carried out without consideration or notice to those involved then they are not moving in the right direction. He emphasized that if care is not taken they may go out of order.

    He continued to say that in as much as we are doing all this to develop the country, it is very important to do it the right way by following the right processes such as giving ample time for people that might be affected to move their things, and they should be a system to involve people at the grassroots level to also bring their opinion as to what they want the government to do for them as they are being thrown out of their houses.

    He further explained that though it is true that where these houses belong to the government and sometimes we use illegal means to get legal things, we should not forget also that we are working in the context of international teams and must watch carefully all that happens around us. He says whatever the government gets involved with one way or the other affects the country as a whole, that is why he is much concerned about this demolishing without notice policy.

    Since the start of the fight against galamsey and illegal mining activities, there have been several complaints and concerns raised by the victims of the Operation Halt II which not addressed now will cause the nation more than we intended to avoid.

    On the 17th day of May 2021, “Xtra- Gold Mining Limited” a legally registered large scale mining company released a press stating how the Operation Halt II destroyed their 20 excavators and equipments through burning at their 5 concession sites . They further stated that they have been in operation since 2006 with necessary permits and documents, and honors their huge taxes, royalties, undertakes social responsibilities ,also even pay stool land fees to traditional authorities in the Atiwa West municipality.

    The big question is , “are we really in to fight illegal minings or to create problems that we will later pay huge judgement debts to cronies , families and friends as compensation”?

    Why can’t such huge machines used in the mining activities even if illegal be ceased by the government and allocated to the various MMDCES to undertaking developmental projects to benefiting the state rather than burning them which will incur more judgements debts as we have been witnessed in this country?

    “Chairman Wontumi” today walking away with huge judgement debts , and we creating more of such means for many to looting the state to share? Are we serious as a nation Ghana?

    The ongoing crackdown on illegal mining activities by the 200-man Operation Halt military team saw the burning of at least 20 excavators at Larbikrom, Dompem and Pamen, all in the Atiwa District on Sunday.

    Reports indicate that 8 out of the number of excavators burnt on Sunday belonged to the National Women Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Madam Kate Gyamfua.
    The raid on the mining site is said to have delayed for hours after the military team was inundated by several calls from various quarters to cause a halt to the operation.

    Other equipments burnt at the various sites include dozens of water pumping machines. The military team is also said to have seized some pump-action guns which were being used to protect the mining sites.

    According to Nana Asante, the military team could have considered the contributions of Madam Gyamfua to the NPP and retreated on its actions.

    Meanwhile, a Member of the Small-Scale Miners Association in the Eastern Region, Alhaji Hussein Suronim has stated that the affected mining sites are not illegal but licensed small-scale mining sites that adhered to all the mining regulations and have thus condemned the military’s action.

    According to Computer Man, Nana Agraada claims she heard the voice of the lord calling upon her years ago but disobeyed the call. This was based on the arrest of Nana Agraada who later was released but confined again due to her issues with Rev. Obofour.

    “Nana Agraada repentance was good but the time of her repentance isn’t favorable. She took a “Pre- mature” decision on her repentance. Her advisers are not helping her”- Computer man said.

    However, so far as there is an issue of justice to be declared on 12th May, Nana Agraada should be imprisoned.

    “Nana Agraada must be imprisoned because she has insulted many Pastors. If truly she has repentance and wants to join the pastoral field she should be ready to be insulted by many us she did to us”- he said.

    However, the Mental health Nurse said, there are many mentally ill people roaming (wandering) around our streets and market places which when necessary medical and psychological care given will help rehabilitate them into our society to fending for themselves and the nation.

    He questioned that, why don’t we make good use of that Saglemi Affordable Housing Project by camping and training these youth and rehabilitating them back into the society to adding values to the economy since we are in crisis as a nation?.

    “Mental Health and Psychiatric personnels are ready to helping in the psychological care as other experts will as well be helping in the Technical and Vocational training.

    It is high time government thought outside the box to developing the country. When that program and policies are well outlined with no loopholes for corrupting the system, we shall as a country produce great tailors and seamstresses, Carpenters ,Masons, farmers , steel benders, and many others that will help building the socioeconomic growth of Ghana. State farms can be developed from such products to feeding the state” he said.

    Many prisoners can as well be brought to such centre for proper rehabilitation before being released into the society to avoid life difficulties that do meet them after prison stays.

    “I am by this article calling on all well established CSOs, the media, Stakeholders, government appointees, technical experts to adding their voices to this suggestions to making better uses of the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project” he narrated.

    It is possible with the right will and synergy. The borrowing is too much, we can create more revenues by rehabilitating our youth who are vulnerable and wasting away.

    Mental Health Total Health.
    God bless our homeland Ghana and make us great and strong.

    With the emergence of the Covid 19 pandemics, almost all activities are held virtually to adhering to the protocols stipulated by WHO and the Covid 19 Health management Team in the country. This has been the order of the season since the whole of 2020 and now 2021.

    Today, 20gh data bundle from the telecommunication networks can’t take us through a 24 hour social media activities without being short of data. I am not talking about watching and downloading of U- Tube videos and stuffs, I am talking about normal social media stuffs like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, .Data In Ghana Is Too Expensive

    Data In Ghana Is Too Expensive

    How do we expect our unemployed youth and students to purchasing these expensive ventures to studying and holding virtual teachings , learning and lectures?

    How do we expect our undergraduates and graduates to undertaking research and learning when data is so expensive in Ghana that an average data per week is 50_100gh ?

    Are we as a country helping the future leaders of this country since Technology is the order of the day?

    The telecommunication networks with their agents in another breath are helping the fraudulent arm robbery activities as stated by the Ghana Police Service in their investigations with regards to the heinous crimes going on daily.

    Dear Minister and MP, we need you to giving us assurances backed by well thought out rules and guidelines to reducing data and Airtime usage in the COUNTRY. We can’t take it any more.

    The other concern of interest is the poor telecommunication networks across the country especially in rural areas. Access to information is very poor which is affecting the socioeconomic life of the people.
    It is my plea and utmost prayers that you role out expansion of telecommunication networks to every part of the COUNTRY for easier access to uninterrupted network for transactions, and proper information dissemination.
