Member of Parliament for South Dayi Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor has said that following the opposition lawmakers’ rejection of the officials from the Electoral Commission (EC) and the National Identification (NIA) who were in Parliament to brief the House on the proposed Constitutional Instrument (CI), the Chair of the EC who was not among the officials, has been flown in from Nigeria to Ghana.
He said the Minority lawmakers were not prepared to accept ” the disrespect” of the EC Chair towards Parliament.
On Thursday, February 23, the opposition lawmakers vehemlty rejected officials of the EC and the NIA.
“Yesterday, EC gave 1000 & 1 reasons why Jean Mensa couldn’t be in Parliament to answer questions on her inordinate desire for a new CI.
“The Minority stood its grounds: No Jean Mensa, No meeting. Guess what? She’s been flown in from Abuja. Her disrespect of Parliament has to end,” he tweeted.
The Minority has been raising issues against the proposed CI by the elections management body which seeks to use the Ghana Card as the only identification document for voter registration ahead of the 2024 general elections.
