Ghana’s Liwin and Agya Koo are undoubtedly great comic actors who bring tears of laughter to the eyes of moviegoers anytime they appear on screen.  

But to Independent Presidential Candidate in the 2012 presidential election, Jacob Osei Yeboah – the drama play by the NPP and NDC on the call for a new Biometric Voter Register can be equated to the two characters playing a comedic role in a movie.

“Liwin and Agya Koo do entertain and make a living of money out of their skills whilst most politicians in the NDC-NPP are no different from their stance on the BVR. Just as we enjoy Liwin-Agya Koo so do we love and are prepared to kill ourselves for the NDC-NPP.

“Liwin and Agya Koo are true actors who will not spill blood in reality but the NPP-NDC are prepared to spill blood because most of us as Ghanaians and voters have yielded to the caldron controlling us. Why am I saying this? Already, someone has lost his eyes in reality and will live with this deformity for the rest of his life. It is like fighting in reality after watching Liwin and Agya Koo film” JOY 2012 as affectionately called in politics told Peacefmonline.com in an interview. 

Jacob is of a view that - If the NPP and the NDC with their opprobrious assertion of “we have the men” accept the fact that they do not understand the real solution to the voters’ register, then it - “Will be the greatest joke of the 21st century.”

Joy 2012 was emphatic that - “EC can never be a repository of Ghana's Bio data except its mandate is changed. It is our God given duty to give life to our nation to mature into democratic state. Let deep minds think through the issue for best solution to be sought after legally. For it is unacceptable for people to lose their lives or live to regret due to deformation. Let's lay wise stones of democratisation such that a time may come that the next generation will touch our works and say see this our fathers did for us.”

Giving a long term solution to the voters’ register, Jacob Osei-Yeboah noted that – “The long term solution lies with the creation of National Electronic Data Register/Infrastructure (NEDI) to serve as the base reference Data. NEDI tracks individual through life cycle of birth through to death. A great modern states data tool for socioeconomic development.”

He added that – “EC can benefit substantially by soliciting for its Data requirement criteria from NEDI to create the subsequent BVR for future elections”
