‘Until you brief Parliament forget about laying your C.I before the House’ – Bagbin tells EC

 Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has threatened to block the laying of a new Constitutional Instrument (C.I) by the Electoral Commission if the House is not briefed accordingly.

The Electoral Commission’s CI, which is undergoing some amendments, is expected to make the Ghana card the only identification document to enroll unto the voters register.

This new proposal has been a thorny issue between the EC and the opposition NDC together with other political parties.

They have argued that this proposal by the EC seeks to disenfranchise Ghanaians in the upcoming elections.

Speaking on the matter on the Floor of the House, on Friday, Alban Bagbin noted that the independence of the EC does not make it immune to oversight by Parliament.
