Jusu Jaka Registers for 2012 elections (Awoko.org)
Alhaji Jaka will be one of hundreds of exceptional cases to go through the registration exercise without completing the process one hundred percent.
As President of the Amputees Association, Alhaji Jaka is armless, being a victim of rebels’ amputation spree during the rebel invasion of Freetown on 6th January 1999. He uses his arms with the help of a metal formulation attached to his body which he calls, ‘prospective’. He therefore did not thumb print his registration form. Thumb printing is one of the key elements in the Biometric voter registration process.
