The Electoral Commission has announced it has withdrawn the staff caught in a video allegedly receiving a bribe during the Ejisu by-election.
A statement issued by the EC said its “attention has been drawn to a video circulating on social media depicting one of the Polling Stations at the ongoing Ejisu Constituency By-Elections. The Polling Station has been identified as the Fumesua Pentecost Church Polling Station with Polling Station Code F311503. The video shows a gentleman approaching the table and dropping an envelope on the table manned by the Presiding Officer and Ballot Issuer.”
The EC assured that it will not mar its reputation and integrity hence due investigation shall be conducted and the outcome made known to the general public.
According to the EC, it “upholds the principles and values of integrity, truth and transparency. These values are reinforced during the training of all temporary staff. The Commission will not countenance acts which cast a slur on the integrity of the institution and will not hesitate to sanction its officials who violate its laws. The report on the incident will be made available to the public in due course.”
