The Member of Parliament for Adaklu Constituency in the Volta Region says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government does not have the moral right and authority to investigate the alleged rot at the Electoral Commission (EC). Kwame Governs Agbodza said there have been equally serious allegations against various government agencies since President Akuffo Addo took office but the government has failed to investigate so there is no need for government to come in and either investigate the EC or take the EC boss to court.

The Park is where the mortal remains of former President and NDC leader John Evans Atta Mills were laid. It is to serve as the graveyard – of some sort – for late Ghana ex-presidents.
