Don’t ‘Hide’ Behind Independence to Be Stubborn, Listen to Wisdom – Peace Council ‘fires’ Jean Mensa-led EC
“If they put their act together and do it well, they can put Ghana together and they can place Ghana on a pedestal of peace and progress”.
The National Peace Council has admonished the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission to cease hiding behind their independence and heed sound advice.
Member of the Peace Council, Maulvi Mohammed Bin Salih, emphasized that while the Electoral Commission (EC) is an independent body, this autonomy should not serve as justification for disregarding advice and counsel.

“Independent they are, yes, but that doesn’t stop them from listening to Ghanaians, listening to the wisdom of our elders, and so on and so forth”, he said.
“They should not, under any circumstances, hide behind the independence to refuse to consult and listen.”
