Dr Quaicoe also reiterated the Commission’s stance on the matter, highlighting its determination to see that those found guilty of stealing state resources face appropriate consequences.
“What I can say on authority is that we lost one BVD in North Tongu and what happened was that we normally package these things in ballot boxes. You put your systems and you seal. In the course of transporting, we got there, they couldn’t transport the ballot boxes.”
“So we reported to the police. We have lost this and these are the suspects so investigate and let them go through the legal regime.
“Whatever has to be done should be done. They have been interdicted they are now going through the investigations. So, the police I am told that they will be arraigned before court soon,” he explained in an interview on Joy FM.
