Education Minister, Dr Mathew Opoku-Prempeh has urged the police not to hesitate to shoot anyone who attempts to snatch a ballot box at a polling station during the elections.
According to him, this is the only way to prevent hoodlums he claims have been recruited by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) from causing chaos D-day.
“The NDC is recruiting some EC staff to rig the election but we know all those people and we will make sure their plans won’t work,” he added.
The Education Minister, who is also the Member of Parliament for Manyhia South, said they have decided to set bonfire near the polling station to police the ballot.
“Those of us in Manhyia will burn tyres at the polling station to protect our ballot and anyone who tries to snatch a ballot box will be killed,” he added.
The Education Minister, popularly known as Napo, made the comment on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday.
