Chairperson for the Electoral Commissioner (EC), Jean Mensa has admitted that five laptops were stolen from the Commission's offices.
However, she assured that this incident has no impact on the voter registration or election process.
Ms. Mensa made this statement while appearing in Parliament on Friday, July 19, 2024.
She emphasised that the missing devices do not affect the integrity or functionality of the voter registration system.
"The missing laptops have no bearing on the registration or election," Jean Mensa stated.
She further explained that the stolen devices require specific keys to be activated, rendering them safe and non-threatening on their own.
"There are certain security processes that a BVD or a BVR has to go through to be connected to our systems. And so on its own, it cannot be used to register anybody," she added.
The Commissioner reassured the public that the EC is committed to maintaining the security and integrity of the electoral process.
"We have taken steps to beef up our security in those places to ensure such thefts will not happen again."
The Chairperson also assured that the EC will maintain transparency in the December elections.
"From the registration to the declaration, our processes are embedded with one key ingredient, and that is transparency, transparency, transparency. As such we will continue to operate in the spirit of transparency, fairness and integrity as embedded in our motto," she assured.
She reiterated that all necessary measures are being put in place to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
