The Majority Leader in Parliament Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has alleged that some officials at the Electoral Commission (EC) under the leadership of the previous chair, have stolen 4million dollars annually on the back of servicing the data centre.
He also noted that the current chair of the Commission, Jean Mensa, blocked the thievery from festering.
In an interview with the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs on Wednesday, November 25, he said that the decision to stop the unending thievery resulted in baseless allegations and propagandist claims against her by the nation’s leading opposition party NDC.
The lawmaker for Suame hinted that since leaving office, the NDC had attempted on countless occasions to smear Jean Mensa with several unsubstantiated allegations but their motive has not worked.
“We had former Electoral Commission who were telling us they were servicing the data centre at the cost of four million dollars every year. Meaning people were stealing four million dollars every year from this country,” he said.
This he said was detected only when Jean Mensa took over the leadership at the elections management body in Ghana.
