The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has criticised a decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to compile a new voters register.
The EC intends to compile a new voters register for next year's election. However, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other political pundits have opposed this decision.
Kwesi Pratt, who was speaking to the issue on Tuesday's edition of Peace FM morining show 'Kokrokoo', also feels there's no need for a new register.
"The Electoral Commission says there is nothing wrong with the voters register and that it is credible yet they want to compile a new register. They claim they have removed names of dead people and that of those who have registered twice. I don’t understand and I think it is not necessary. If everything has been done to make the register better, if you claim there is nothing wrong with the current register then why produce a new one? The voter's register in 2012 and 2016 didn't affect the results of the elections in any way so i don't understand why they insist on producing a new voters' register. It is not needed," he stated.

New voters register is must .Any institution without process improvement threshold lacks sustainability in business so EC do not hesitate to auction new voters register.Characters like kwesi prat in Ghana does not decide for the majority of Ghanaian's . Kwesi Prat is Mr. know all can go to hell with his ranting
There is a new voter register anytime there is an election, be it local or national. In the UK, due to the structured system, they will send you information to add or delete people in your household. We can't develop as a nation when we keep kicking against process that are meant to improve on existing systems. Some people are likely to turn 18 and need to be captured.
Why the need for a new register? It’s just us spending hard earned money for other developmental projects.
Kwesi Pratt ne nkwas*akeka. You don't understand so what? We should fry egg for you? Stomach journalist. NDC man parading as journalist. Your time go come soon. Nansins!!!

Kwesi Pratt don't worry, we will use this register for ever and ever. The NDC hates anything new, and NDC=Kwesi Pratt so the verdict is NO
