The Electoral Commission of Ghana is pleading with the media in the country to cooperate with the commission and pay accreditation fees to cover the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections. The commission set November 7 2016 as deadline for submission of requests for accreditation to be granted at a fee, citing financial constraints. Accreditation tags according to EC will be given to only those who have formally applied for it and for a fee to be determined by the Commission. Meanwhile, some journalists are threatening to sue the EC if it insists on taking money from the media before allowing them to cover the upcoming general elections.
