Investigate the EBC

By letter dated Nov 10 2005, the National Transformation Party applied to the EBC to have a particular symbol assigned to the NTP as its official symbol.

The EBC responded by letter dated Dec 27 2005, that the choice of symbol of the NTP has been rejected.

The National Transformation Party by letter dated Jan 23 2006 re-applied to the EBC, the EBC’s PRO recieving the application in person, so that there was no question of the application being late for the board’s monthly 24th of the month meeting.

However, to this day the EBC’s response through its PRO is that the board has yet to meet on the application of the National Transformation Party, so from a legal point the NTP do not exist. But while the EBC is failing to make official the existence of the NTP, over at Crowne Plaza a National Transformation Movement is being launched.

The National Transformatioin Party is therefore calling on the ACIB to investigate whether or not members of the EBC are in violations of their oath of secrecy. The EBC is a very important link in the whole democratic process and if the EBC cannot be trusted then the political process cannot be trusted and if the political process cannot be trusted then the results will not be accepted, a perfect recipe for anarchy and mayhem. The National Transformation Party is therefore calling for an investigation into the practices at the EBC.
