Chairman of Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation committee, OB Amoah, says he is embarrassed by the conduct of the Electoral Commission which was recently forced to suspend a voters' registration exercise.

He has also questioned the quality of leadership at the Commission.

“Everything the EC is required to do, the EC has flouted [the law]. You speak to them and most of them don’t seem to know what is going on. So who gives such instructions and what advice do they take?” he asked on Multi TV’s AM Show Tuesday.

The Electoral Commission was forced to suspend a continuous voter registration exercise two days ago after political parties condemned the EC for not consulting them.

The parties said they were taken by surprise for an exercise that require party agents to monitor.

The E.C says the suspension will enable the independent body to consult stakeholders before announcing a new date.

Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan is heading out in June.

Weighing in on the matter, Osei Bonsu Amoah, who is also Member of Parliament for Akwapim South suggested that the flouting of regulations was becoming too frequent.

He cited the public shock and dismay after the Supreme Court, on Friday February 27, 2015, directed the E.C to suspend local governance election because the E.C failed to follow due process.

According to the NPP MP, it is becoming difficult to defend the commission because the EC is exhausting the support it has from a “few” Ghanaians.

“The fact that Ghanaians appear to have forgiven them when they made us lose so much during the district assembly elections doesn’t mean things can go on this way.”

He revealed, “a lot of people are expressing disquiet about the way they do their things”.

Ghana's Electoral Comission's chairman, Dr. Afari Djan, leaves office in June after 22 years of service. A replacement has yet to be appointed.
