Bechem (Ahafo), Dec. 7, GNA – Presiding officers at Bechem in the Tano South Constituency said they find it difficult to take the deaf and dumb electorates through the voting process.
They said interpreters were not assigned to the polling stations, thereby making it tough for them.
That notwithstanding, the officers told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) during round visits that some of the deaf and dumb electorates who visited the centres were guided to cast their ballots.
“It has been very difficult for us to communicate with them since voting because there are no sign language interpreters here,” Madam Monica Ansah, the presiding officer at the Bechem Fire Service Polling Station Centre “One” said.
Mr Kodjo Tettey Seyram at the Bechem Community Centre Polling Station also expressed similar sentiments, saying: “The lack of sign language interpreters is a problematic.
” Meanwhile, voting ended peacefully at exactly 1700 hours with no queues at many of the polling stations.
