Mrs Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) on Thursday inaugurated the Representation of the People’s Amendment Act (ROPAA) Consultative and Implementation Committee.
Mr Ankrah ... Ghana was copying blindly from the Western world saying “its true democracy is expensive and is definitely a better alternative to any form of dictatorship.” Participants at a roundtable discussion have anonymously agreed that the Electoral Commission (EC) should reinforce laws on political parties financing in order to promote accountability.
They added that a regulatory framework should be set in order to supervise and monitor the operations of the parties to ensure transparency. The Electoral Commission (EC) has said the decision to revert to the original eagles and coat of arms logo did not cost the state a substantial sum of money. “Therefore the only change that has come up is the change in letterheads and that has cost, I think it is less; well below GHS 16,000.” Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa, has revealed that the reversion of the Commission’s logo to the country’s coat of arms and a ballot box showing the hand casting its vote cost about GH¢16,000.
The Commission on December 4, 2018, dumped the multi-coloured logo which was championed by its immediate past chairperson, Mrs Charlotte Osei. |
