Ghana Voter Enrollment Challenges

Blame biometric challenges on climate and untrained personnel – Dr. Gedel (Modern Ghana)

He noted that because the kit operators were not “well trained” there are some lapses in their work.

According to him, he has observed that some kit operators keep piling pressure on the printers used for the registration exercise thus leading to their malfunctioning.

“Some of them (kit operators) instead of issuing one command for printing, some of them go to issue two, three, four and eventually the printer gets locked up because of too much information sent” Dr. Gedel said on Multi TV's political talk show, Majority Caucus.

He also raised concerns about the citing of some of the registration centers in the open which he said can affect the lifespan of the equipment.

Biometrics are about people; they can help managers accomplish goals but they can't run an organization all by themselves.
