In the wake of the recent theft of critical biometric equipment from the headquarters of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a fervent call for a comprehensive investigation conducted under the oversight of credible international bodies.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, General Secretary of the NDC, emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “We demand, with utmost urgency, a full and transparent investigation into the theft, conducted with oversight from credible, independent international bodies.”
The NDC’s insistence on international oversight underscores their commitment to ensuring the integrity and impartiality of the investigation process. By involving independent international entities, the NDC aims to bolster public trust and confidence in the outcome of the investigation.
Kwetey further emphasized the necessity of international involvement, stating, “The involvement of credible international bodies is essential to guaranteeing the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation. We cannot afford to leave any stone unturned in uncovering the truth behind this egregious breach of electoral security.”
