According to him, Ghana has consistently improved in its electoral processes by moving from the use of identification cards without photos to photo identification, from the use of wooden ballot boxes to transparent ballot boxes and now to biometric registration. These he observed are manifestations of the greater achievements chalked by the country hence the need to protect the peace for accelerated growth. He noted that the only option available to the people is to preserve the peace and not to engage in violence. Koku was speaking to Joy News when he led some officials from the presidency, including the National Youth Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Ludwig Akpene Hlordze on a tour of some registration centers in the Volta region.
