“What I can say on authority is that we lost one BVD in North Tongu and what happened was that we normally package these things in ballot boxes. You put your systems and you seal. In the course of transporting, we got there, they couldn’t transport the ballot boxes.”
“So we reported to the police. We have lost this and these are the suspects so investigate and let them go through the legal regime.
