EC MUST STEP UP ITS
GAME-AFAG
AFAG
afagovernance@gmail.com
July 20, 2016
Alliance for Accountable Governance
(AFAG) appreciate the efforts of all those
responsible for elevating our democratic process
on the main stage of political debate. We
respect the participation of all the political
parties and other major stakeholders in the
ongoing Electoral Commission’s (EC) exhibition
of the voters’ register which began on Monday
20th July, and is expected to end on Sunday,
August 72016. It has taken years of hard
determined effort to arrive at where we are
today.
AFAG entreats the Electoral
Commission to increase awareness and publicity
of the critical electoral exercise. We entreat
the EC to demonstrate an unalloyed commitment to
best practices. Indeed the EC's action or
inaction certainly has a direct effect on the
reliability of the voter register for the 2016
parliamentary and presidential elections.
For the many Ghanaians who are yet to verify
their names during this exercise, AFAG
encourages each and every eligible voter to
participate fully in this exercise by going to
the exhibition center to confirm his or her name
in the voters register, and or otherwise, help
address any difficulty observed in this regard.
Not only do we welcome the continuity of
this democratic process, but, more broadly, we
encourage registered voters to play an active
role in ensuring a very successful exhibition
exercise. We also call on the National
Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) to rise up
to its core duty of educating Ghanaians on civic
matters, which includes electoral processes.
God bless us all.

native to Ghana, but was brought to us from another
West African country – Equatorial Guinea – by a
Ghanaian called Tetteh Quarshie. He was a

boundaries.....

Mahama's "Cargate"- Matters Arising
Commentary, July 16, 2016 - In any
event, whether the Ford Expedition which was
presented to H.E. John D. Mahama was a gift or a
bribe remains to be determined. This matter
cannot simply be allowed to whither on the vine
and disappear without proper accounting..

How
the World Fell Out of Love with Obama
BBC, July 14, Ghanadot
- The rest of the
world fell as hard for Barack Obama as Americans
did.
Back in 2008, the same qualities in the
47-year-old senator from Illinois that excited
U.S. voters enthralled people around the globe.
He was a fresh face and a compelling orator. .......

How China's
trawlers are emptying Guinea's oceans
BBC, July 09, Ghanadot - Chinese fishing
vessels operate illegally off the coast of
Guinea, depleting its fish population and
destroying marine life. Despite the economic and
social consequences of illegal fishing, the

surveillance equipment, as the BBC's Tamasin
Ford reports......More
