General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has expressed shock that police have since not arrested and prosecuted officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) for breaching the COVID-19 directive of public gathering.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia in an interview said, the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, and other officials violated the President’s directive and a court order by holding a training workshop at the City Escape Hotel at Airport over the week.
“I expected the police to have prosecuted them by now; you [police] must be seen to be implementing the law in an unbiased manner,” he said on on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen program.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia could not fathom why pastors and other persons are arrested and prosecuted for violating the President’s directive while the EC officials are walking free even after flouting the same directive.
“Why are pastors and other people arrested? Are they less of citizens than the EC officials,” he quizzed.
Mr. Nketia said the decision by the Ningo-Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George to storm the venue with the police is in the right direction.
