Many election watchers have pointed to how crucial the 2024 election means to Ghana's sustained peace and tranquillity, and the need to ensure everything needed is done to there are no hitches.
But the EC Chair, while assuring of what she said are exhaustive preparations being put in place, also pointed out that the issue of security is the role of other institutions.
She said her outfit has introduced rigorous means of collecting data as far as its activities are concerned.
Her presence in Parliament followed requests from members seeking to understand the level of the EC's preparedness for the upcoming polls.
