EC Boss To Face Privileges Committee Over Contempt

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Jean Mensa will be dragged before the Parliament’s Privileges Committee if she fails to appear before the House as directed by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin last week.

The Speaker requested the presence of Mrs Mensa at the insistence of the Minority Caucus who say they are opposed to the Constitutional Instrument (CI) currently before the House that seeks to make the Ghana Card, the sole document for voter registration.

The NDC MPs said the EC’s Chairperson does not have respect for Parliament, hence her refusal to be present in the House to answer questions on the CI.

However, the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, has debunked the assertion.
