The Electoral Commission (EC) has hinted that it may be compelled to donate some of the equipment procured for elections after the December 7 polls.
According to a story published on Gbcghanaonline.com, Chairperson of EC, Jean Mensa argued that such equipment cannot be dormant for four years when other organizations may need them for urgent use.
She reportedly made the comments at a forum in Accra.
