    THE WICKED AND HEARTLESS PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA ON HIS TRAVELS TO EUROPE HAS SIGNED A TREATY WITH THE WEST TO DEPORT HARDWORKING GHANAIAN MIGRANTS BACK TO GHANA IN EXCHANGE OF MONEY AND NEW PRISONS

  • DR TRUTH 8 years ago

    COUNTING OF THE BALLOT PAPERS AND THE ENTERING OF THE RESULTS ON THE PINK SHEETS AT THE POLLING STATIONS IS WHAT IS CRITICAL AND NOT THE COLLATING OF THE VARIOUS PINK SHEETS FIGURES

  • DR TRUTH 8 years ago

    That's my view. The qualifications of a person isn't proof of integrity. In Ghana, most people can be bought. Secondly, they can't solve issue of ineligible voters, a matter Osei is keen to bury.

  • Wisdom 8 years ago

    The CA's, their firms and employees belong to political parties. There will be chaos if reliance is placed solely on them to produce the best election results.

    Most chartered accountants and lawyers are partisan. Why not statisticians

  • Omanba Pa, Islington-London! 8 years ago

    Let us know them now because we don't want NDC accountants to write 2 7 0. Okay?

    I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THEY SHOULD BE PRESIDING OR RETURNING OFFICERS. HOWEVER, AS CHIEF HAS SAID, THEY SHOULD BE THE PROFESSIONAL AND GOD FEARING TYPE. THEY SHOULDN'T MAKE THE TYPES OF HORRIBLE MISTAKES COMMITTED BY THE KPMG ...

  • Kojo Thompson 8 years ago

    Why should she talk about voters register when that issue has been decided and dead?

    You should think of how to amend your falling NPP and leave the register matter alone because it will not happen this time.

    Go to the people to convince them to vote for and stop concentrating on voter register. There should be votes for you to count and this should come from the people. Otherwise even if AKKUFO Addo is EC chair he will lose

    First things first! Talk about the new voters register and stop this nonsense! If you try to impose Mahama on us you'll see Ghanaians are, after all, not cowards!

  • Alfredo 8 years ago

    This is important too. We need well educated people at the poles. New register won't solve the problem.

    Don't worry, Charlotte is more firm than Afari Gyan. NPP thought she would be a walk-over but she is proving to be solid as a rock.

  • Kojo Thompson 8 years ago

    Accept the Chartered Accountants at the constituencies but not the Ghana Bar Association. The GBA is an agent of the NPP. They went to the Supreme Court hoping to get favours from their friends.

    "Book long" is not what we need, honesty is sufficient. At collation centres we only do addition and subtraction. No need for all the formulae from accountants. What EC should pay more attention to is the polling stations. Th ...

    If the EC lacks the required credibility with regards to the voting, why allow and permit the EC to organize it, to begin with?

  • Whatever 8 years ago

    It might help but honestly how many chartered accountants are you going to be able to get in all the polling stations across Ghana? What is need is VIGILANCE by all the polling station agents.

    WE SHOULD RATHER EMPLOY THE PROFESSIONALS AS PRESIDING OFFICERS. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH COLLATION AS FAR AS ELECTIONS ARE CONCERNED.
