Nitiwul demands evidence that military took over role of EC
Defense Minister-designate Dominic Nitwul has said
that the military did not take over the role of
the Electoral Commission (EC) during last year’s
elections.

He said this on Thursday, February 11 during his
vetting by the Appointments Committee of
Parliament.

He challenged anyone with contrary views to
produce evidence to that effect for matter to be
investigated.

Concerns were raised against the use of the
military in the elections.
But the Bimbila lawmaker at the vetting said:
“The military is for the people of Ghana not
interest of any political party, so if you have
any evidence that any military person took over
the role of the EC and declared results, let us
know and we will investigate it.

“I have been having briefs on the military and
no military officer has been caught because he has
been accused of shooting somebody.

“The police are investigating it so if there is
any military man who has been identified as
shooting, the police will investigate and he will
be dealt with.”
