The Crusading Guide reports that two artisans – Worlanyo Okai and Harrison Dzededzii, from Tema Community 18, near Accra, are demanding their voters ID Card from Mr. David Lamptey, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle Constituency.
The artisans had told the paper that they, among about 300 people, had registered and taken their pictures in Lamptey’s residence where he opened a centre when the registration exercise was reopened this year.
They were however told that their ID cards would be ready in a few days time but this, they said translated into few weeks and then to months.
The MP when recently confronted by the people informed them that their names had been sent to Tema and that their ID cards would be ready in three days to the elections.
Hon. Lamptey, according to Crusading Guide’s story, is alleged to have given 100,000 cedis to some people harassing them, bent on keeping their cards, while on another occasion he organised a ‘border’ dance party for others.
“David was also said to have given the over 300 people each 2,000 cedis on the day of registration,” the paper submitted.
Crusading Guide recalls claims by two young men at an NPP press confab soon after the registration exercise of Lamptey registering them at his residence but failing to hand them their ID cards and says despite a publication of this, the Electoral Commission and the Police have failed to investigate them.
