Self – acclaimed man of God, Prophet Kwabena Owusu Agyei, has been arrested after threatening President Akufo-Addo and the Jean Mensa led Electoral Commission.
According to Prophet Agyei, the Electoral Commission of Ghana has become a dictator doing things without consulting important stakeholders who matters in the implementation of policies.
He was arrested by plain cloth men during a live interview with Accra based radio, Hot FM.
The Pastor in a live Facebook video warned the Electoral Commission not to compile a new Voter’s register if they do not want the unthinkable to happen in the country.
Going further, he said Jean Mensa will die should the Electoral Commission go ahead with it decision of Compiling a new register in the country.
He boastfully said during the June 4 revolution, it was the blood of the military the flowed, but what he is hearing this time, it is the blood of the ‘Akyem mafia’ that will flow.
To him, should the EC Chair attempt the compilation of a new register, she will die at 12 am but refused to state the exact day Madam Jean Mensa will die.
Meanwhile the EC has given various reasons why it is very necessary for the compilation of a new register. According to the EC, most Ghanaians used their National Health Insurance card to in acquiring their current Voter’s ID card which does not make the register credible.
Also, the Biometric Verification Devices is out of date and producers of the equipment are no longer in operation and so in any case some parts are missing, there will be no replacement and the rate at which the BVD machines will fail to perform well is higher so it is good we change the BVD machines all together.
The last time the Electoral Commission procured a new Biometric Verification Devices was in 2013 which means the machines are very old. The parts are not even available so when it starts functioning in an abnormal way, the EC will not be able to replace them because the parts are not available. Also, the performance of the equipment has gone down such as the fingerprint scanner is beginning to diminish.
the same vein, he expressed worry over equipment management by Superlock Technology Limited (STL), an Israeli company asked to manage our data system. The Israeli company has refused to give the source code to the Electoral Commission for it to manage the data and this is because STL insists it was not in the agreement to hand over the source code to the commission. This has made it very difficult for the commission to manage its own data posing a serious risk to the country’s sovereign right.
