The Electoral Commission has refuted claims that it is wasting state resources in its quest to compile a new voters’ register and procuring a biometric system.
The Commission said it is committed to judiciously spending the about 400 million cedis it was granted by Parliament to be spent on the process.
Speaking at a news conference, the Deputy Chairperson of the Commission in-charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey said the amount will be expended mainly on procuring electoral materials as well as recruitment of election officials for all polling stations across the country.
