The Electoral Commission has been ordered by a Human Rights Court in Accra to make public all assets and audited statements of accounts of political parties in the country.
This follows a suit filed by a private citizen, Lolan Ekow Sagoe-Moses, and pressure group Citizens Ghana Movement (CGM), who prayed the court to compel the Commission to enforce the provisions of the law that mandates all political parties to submit their annual financial statements to the Commission.
In his judgment, the Presiding Judge Justice Anthony Yeboah asked the Electoral Commission to publish a demand notice to all political parties to take immediate steps to comply with the law within six calendar months from Friday, February 9, 2018.
