SPREAD MOP UP EXERCISE TO COVER CRITICAL
AREAS, ADWOA SAFO TELLS EC
Parliamentary candidate for Dome/ Kwabenya, Lawyer Sarah Adwoa
Safo, has called on the electoral Commission to carefully
gauge critical areas where the technical challenges of the
biometric registration exercise affected most and spread the
mop up to ensure that every Ghanaian who has attained the
voting age and therefore qualified to vote are not
unnecessarily disenfranchised. She said even though the entire
exercise has been substantially successful, a lot of people
have also not registered as a result of some technical
challenges that nearly plagued down the entire exercise. She
believes the technical ineptitude on the part of the EC must
not disenfranchise many legitimate voters and hence the need
to expand the mop up exercise to cater for the lot that have
not registered. Adwoa Safo was addressing the polling station
officers and agents who manned the various registration
centers during the national biometric exercise to show her
appreciation for the commitment and hard work they showed
during the forty day period.
“The party and I are indebted to you for the great deal of
commitment and zeal that you demonstrated and by dint of your
hard work we made a significant improvement by hitting 125,439
as against the under 100 thousand we recorded over the last
registration, this speaks volumes of your unflinching support
and commitment you showed during the exercise”
She told the teeming crowd over how elated and enthused that
she has been in seeing them display such high level commitment
and hoped that similar commitment will be made on the day of
the elections.
Noting “Ghana cannot continue to entrust its destiny into the
hands of an incompetent government like the NDC asking them to
do a critical study of the hell they have gone through over
the four year period” Professor Mills reigns has been
characterized by unprecedented amount of corruption of the
highest magnitude, unbridled and stench mediocrity, lack of
well cut out policies for the youth and policies that will
catapult the nation to its development brim”
She said Nana Addo has been ordained to take over the reigns
of Ghana and repair what she refers as the economic havoc
created by the NDC and develop it to a height that will lessen
the burden of all Ghanaians. Adwoa noted that the
transformational leadership which will propel Ghana’s economy
from the agrarian type to that of an industrialized economy
will have youngsters like Dr Bawumiah, herself and others to
operate from the laterals, a measure that will spark hope for
the youth. The Dome/Kwabenya Member of parliament bound
procurement law expert, Adwoa Safo gave hints about the
policies Nana Addo intends to implement and told the gathered
crowed how they will directly affects their lives. The free
SHS will establish Ghana as a literate society where every
Ghanaian will be able to do clear cut analysis of Government
policies and assess it by its performance according the
promises they have made. The inner city development projects
will also seek to bridge the gap between the lower income
earners and the middle income earners. Present at the occasion
was the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party Kwadjo
Owusu Afriyie also known in politics as SIR JOHN. He commended
the officers for a good work done and singled out the Dome/Kwabenya
constituency for providing accurate reports and also
increasing their numbers to over 125 thousand. He urged them
to even show more commitment and ensure that Nana wins the
ultimate which is the presidential elections.
