The IMANI Center for Policy and Education has petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate the Electoral Commission's (EC) handling of election-related equipment, following its retirement and disposal.
The center has also suggested that the matter may need to be referred to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for a corruption risk assessment.
IMANI's Executive Director, Franklin Cudjoe, expressed concerns about the EC's management of national resources, accusing the Commission of "misappropriation" and "wastage" of state assets.
The petition highlights the premature retirement and auctioning of thousands of laptops, digital cameras, printers, and fingerprint verifiers, which the EC deemed obsolete.
