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.

KASOA NEWS: Kasoa Market Engulfed By Fire

Published from Blogger Prime Android App

Several shops at the Kasoa New Market have been lost in an early morning fire that destroyed several properties.

Although that section of the market is not connected to the national grid, the entire space was engulfed in the fire.

Citi News sources say human activities might have been the cause of the fire.

Some market women who lost their belongings to the fire say they are devastated.

“I was in the house when I had a call that my shop was on fire. The entire space was up in flames when I got to the scene. I have lost all my belongings in the fire and I wonder how I will get money to start a new business,” Akosua Agyeiwaa, a devastated market woman told Citi News.

Officials of the Ghana National Fire Service have been in the area to ensure the fire is controlled.

“We had information about 08: 28 hours of a fire outbreak. When they got here the fire had reached its growth stage. My men did very well because if you look at the combustible nature of the fire it would take a longer time to douse the fire but my men managed to bring the fire under control.

“We have also warned the market women not to cook in the market or do anything related to naked fire. Fire will not occur unless there is a source of heat. We have begun our investigation into the matter,” Assistant Chief Fire Officer Grade II Kofi Forson said
