Election: (CSD-Ghana) Backs The NDC’s “Enough is Enough” Protest In Demand For A Credible Voters’Register

The CSD-Ghana believes strongly that the foundation of any free and fair election is a credible register and as such, any effort towards having a credible Voters’ Register must be supported by all democracy lovers. The Electoral Commission has admitted to many errors in the Electoral Roll, as pointed out by the NDC, but has failed to allow for an independent forensic audit into the same. The EC, for example, has admitted that there were illegal vote transfers in Sagnerigu, Pusiga and Tamale South by an Electoral Commission Official in Tamale South. According to the EC, these illegal transfers went through because there was no “liveness check” mechanism in place to prevent such situations.  The NDC says the situation is widespread so there must be an audit. This is a fair and reasonable call to make, but the EC has remained intransigent. CSD-Ghana stands ready to fully participate in this protest and asks other democracy lovers to join us to mount enough pressure on the Electoral Commis

The country’s present level of economic crisis is one bigger than a pandemic.

 A convener of the #FixTheCountry movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, says the country’s present level of economic crisis is one bigger than a pandemic.

According to him, if the challenges are not addressed with drastic measures, including medium and long-term solutions, Ghana would keep running to the doorsteps of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for support.

He joined the ‘Ku Me Preko Reloaded’ demonstration on Saturday, November 5, where he noted that the problems facing the country should not be treated with “superficial tweak.

“We are in a deep economic and systemic crisis, it’s bigger than the pandemic and the responses we devise to this must not only be superficial. This is about the 17th time we are back at the IMF; we cannot continue like this.

“We have said this from the very beginning that the problems that we are faced with today and where we are now is as a result of a gap between the political class and those who are governing; they do not listen, they are not held to any account and we have always said that to structurally reform this country, we must have a conversation about our Constitution – that conversation cannot be deferred,” he added.

The ‘Ku Me Preko Reloaded’ protest was led by private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, who has been pushing for the resignation of President Nana Akufo-Addo over Ghana’s current economic woes.

Some civil society organisations including #FixTheCountry, Arise Ghana, Economic Fighters League and other activists have joined the demonstrators, saying the President and his government have not done enough to alleviate the plight of citizens in the struggling economy.
