River Gee County Senator-elect, Jonathan Boye Charles Sogbie
River Gee County Senator-elect, Jonathan Boye Charles Sogbie, has frowned on the Act that created the National Election Commission and gave it power for the organization and administration of elections.
“When you feel disenfranchised or disenchanted, you will have to sue NEC to NEC, and what do you expect the result to be? We will seek to change that, otherwise, serious problems like what is happening now in the Ivory Coast and Guinea will happen here.”
He, therefore, suggested that a momentary court be set up purposely for only electioneering period.
On another election-related issue, Senator-elect Sogbie has lamented that the country will be going to four by-elections, which may cause the government almost US$4 million because some sitting Representatives want more years in the Legislature without completing the term the people elected them for; a situation he says the country does not have money for.
