US-based vlogger and journalist, Kevin Taylor, has condemned the National Peace Council of Ghana for its recent plea for financial assistance as it gears up for the upcoming 2024 general elections.

Reverend Dr. Adu Gyamfi, Chairman of the Council, has highlighted the necessity for approximately $1 million to bolster their operational capabilities in preparation for managing potential challenges surrounding the electoral process.

"In dollar terms, we estimate that $1 million is required for election-related activities. While we have received some support from donors, additional funding is crucial," Dr. Gyamfi disclosed during discussions.

Reacting to this, Kevin Taylor said "The funniest story I have seen in 2024. Herhh Ghana is full of idiots."

The National Peace Council plays a pivotal role in promoting peaceful elections by mediating conflicts, facilitating dialogue among political parties, and overseeing the electoral process's integrity. However, the increasing demands for their services, particularly in election monitoring and violence mitigation, necessitate substantial financial and human resources.

Dr. Gyamfi also acknowledged the strain on their regional secretaries, who are currently overwhelmed by their workload. "Our regional secretaries have expressed concerns about being overburdened. They urgently require additional support, including drivers and logistical resources, which we currently lack," he remarked.
