The Deputy Public Affairs Director at the Electoral Commission (EC), Sylvia Annor has assured registration officers whose allowances have delayed that they will be paid soon.
Some registration officers who took part in the just ended Biometric Voters' Registration have complained about delays in the payment of allowances due them. According to some of the officers, the EC does not seem to have answers to their questions about when they would be paid.
However, Madam Sylvia Annor, who was speaking on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem morning show Thursday said they will definitely be paid.
Although she could not tell exactly when the money officers would be paid, she hinted that it would be paid in less than a month.
Meanwhile, Madam Sylvia Annor has given the assurance that all participants in the Biometric Registration whose cards were not laminated would get them in due course.
She has therefore directed that those whose eligibility to register was challenged or did not get their cards due to shortage of lamination forms should follow up at the various district offices of the EC to collect their cards.
Madam Sylvia Annor however explained that, a section of those who were challenged will have to go through adjudication processes before a decision could be arrived at.
The Electoral Commission is conducting a mop up biometric registration exercise this weekend in 187 centers in eight regions except the Central and Brong Ahafo regions.
Western region will have 84 centres with 55 in the Northern, 26 in Ashanti, 18 in Accra, 15 in the Upper East and 17 in the Upper West regions. The Volta and Eastern regions will have 5 and 3 centers respectively.
The centers will open at 7 am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday; 9th and 10th June, 2012 respectively.
This will pave the way for those who could not get the opportunity to register in the main exercise due to machine failure among others to do so.
