He opined, it will get to a point where people will no longer have trust in our independent institutions because of the undue interference by some faceless people.

He made reference to the judicial scandal which hit the nation and saw some judges sacked after they were caught on tape accepting bribe to subdue justice.

The judiciary he said was ridiculed following Anas' expose and that tag is still on them despite reforms done adding, ''we have not forgotten about the judicial scandal and yet another scandal has hit the election body. This is serious.

The EC has been commended for organizing a free, fair and transparent election despite the attacks. However, the current scandal has taken that shine away.

Mr. Boateng Gyan was emphatic that there was undue interference and if not checked, it will spell doom for the country.
