David Kumi Addo , The Executive Secretary of "Care" has called on the CID to investigate EC's Boss, Jean Mensah with immediate effect.

Following the arguments of the EC upon which it wants to discard the biometric register which produced two Presidents, H.E John Mahama in 2012 and H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2016 and some members of Parliament as well, Mr Kumi has mentioned such claims as invalid.

Mr Kumi mentioning to the Press stated that the inflexibility and aggressiveness of the EC has only created a potential source of violence. He added that he "feels" the EC is being engineered down this slippery slope by the New Patriotic Party(NPP).

He argued that, the decision made by Jean Mensah and the EC to go ahead and register over one million voters a couple of months into election 2020, when she knows the register will not be needed is a deliberate move to cause financial loss to the state.

In his opinion, Mr Kumi said that perhaps the EC has forgotten that the register is a biometric one with finger prints and other unique details of voters, making it impossible for dead men to vote. This he said in response to the argument proposed by the EC that the names of 600,000 dead persons are in the old register,hence, the need for a new one.

However, David Kumi believes the only valid reason the EC wants to improve upon its technology is to add facial recognition as a tool of identification. And even that is the poorest form of security as compared to the already existing fingerprint feature in use, he said.
