There's Nothing Wrong With Bussing People To Registration Centres - Kwesi Pratt Justifies

Editor-in-Chief of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has justified the bussing of people to registration centers to partake in the EC registration exercise.

The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia was seen in a viral video days ago challenging some Military personnel at Banda.

Mr. Asiedu Nketia accused the Military of intimidating and preventing some people, who he claimed were Ghanaians and were bused to a registration centre in the area, from participating in the registration exercise.

Some members of the NPP have also defended the Military saying they are stationed in the Regions to protect the borders and also ensure that non-Ghanaians didn't participate in the exercise.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt wondered why it should become an issue to see people being bused to participate in the voter registration exercise stressing there's nothing wrong with it.

According to him, there are some villages in the country where transport buses go there once a week and so it is only normal to find the residents board a vehicle together to a registration centre.

"There is a village in Ghana where if a vehicle will go there, it's once a week. So, it is very normal for the residents to board one car to go to the registration centre. It's not strange for that to happen, given the geography of Ghana, given the development of infrastructure and so on; it's normal . . . So, if the residents in this village want to go to register their names and so pick one car or the MP or Municipal Assembly there decides to help them by arranging a car for them, what's wrong about that?''
