The Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) seems to be courting the anger of temporary staff and stakeholders as it is yet to pay them for services rendered during the December 7 elections. None of the officers recruited purposely for the elections has been paid.
Neither have suppliers. But speaking on 3FM’s Sunrise on Tuesday, January 17, Head of Communications at the Commission Eric Kofi Dzakpasu said arrangements have started to get all the stakeholders paid.
He admitted that there are “outstanding payments” to be made but that will surely be done, though he was unable to give any timelines.
He said the appropriate quarters have been alerted of the debt and “in due course, we will get the releases”.
Mr Dzakpasu said payments will be made at the District Offices of the Commission and so grievances of all should be channeled there. Failing to disclose the total amount of payment to be made, Mr Dzakpasu said when the money is ready all officials and stakeholders will be notified.
“It is quite a big amount,” he noted, explaining that the difference as to what will go to officials and to suppliers will be drawn.
He indicated that the Commission is in constant touch with those they owe and they are already in the know about the state of affairs regarding their payments.

PRESIDENT NANA ADDO WOULD HELP YOU PAY YOUR DEBTS. THEY ACCUSE OF TRYING TO RIGE ELECTION FOR JDM. NOW THEY WON AND KEEP QUIET. LET PAY ALL THE DEBT THE EC INCURRED.
EC is not serious. Money is donated by the west for almost every election including this one. Im afraid someone has invested the money temproary for profits before releasing the money to us late,and without a share of the profits
She spent our limited resources on her occult logo without any due process, how can she save money for staff who played crucial role in running this election.
Charlotte Osei just needs to go! She is as corrupt as JDM and greedy as him. The filth that will come out from the previous NDC government in the next year will shock Ghanaians.
WHAT DEBT. ? THE EC IS THE MOST CORRUPT PARA STATAL IN GHANA. THE NEW GOVERNMENT SHOULD AUDIT THEM AS A MATTER OF URGENCY TO CLEAN UP THE PLACE.
The EC must be audited after each elections..... It looks as if there is corruption being cultivated there....
What debt? What have you done with all the millions in donor money and the huge amount of money Ghana government dole out to the EC? Lies and more lies. No wonder!
