It’s under the mandate of the OSP. Immediately you declare result, I’m calling for it and I’m matching from polling station to polling station what you have done and if I find a discrepancy, then you should be telling me why transferance from the pink to the blue sheets, there is a gap and immediately you are not offering a reasonable excuse, I’m prosecuting you. It’s not MPs who should be going to court when it unreasonably go against them at polling stations “.
The University of Ghana School of Criminal Law Lecturer Kissi Agyebeng noted that “If you don’t know me and you draft something and put it out there and people believe you, that’s your own case “.
