Richmond Asamoah, 19, pleaded not guilty to the offense, and would make his next appearance on Wednesday, November 1, 2017.

Police Sergeant Princeton Peasah Darkwah, told the court that the incident happened at Bompata in the Asante-Akim South Municipality, on October 09.

The victim was returning from a visit to the grandmother at about 1500 hours when she met the accused.

Asamoah engaged the innocent little girl in a conversation, lured her to his room and sexually abused her.

He let her go after the despicable act, but with a warning, not to tell anybody about her traumatic experience.

The prosecution said such was the pain that, the victim could simply not bear and therefore informed the mother immediately she got home.

Sgt. Darkwa added that a formal report was made to the police and Asamoah was arrested.

The exercise is intended to register persons who will be 18 years by June this year as part of the Commission’s preparation towards the district level elections.

Acting Head of Public Affairs at the Commission, Christian Owusu Parry says the new date will not be announced ”as soon as possible”.

According to him [Christian Owusu Parry] the Chairman of the EC announced the postponement after consultations with the Ghana Education Service, because the EC relies extensively on teachers for such exercises.

He explained that the EC was informed by the GES that the teachers would be engaged during the Basic Education Certificate Examinations, which will coincide with the registration exercise.

”According to them [GES] they are writing BECE around this and because we are going to take the teachers out of the classroom for about ten days, they couldn’t allow the teachers to participate;we had to consult on that matter…,” he said.

He noted that the commission however, decided that because teachers are “very reliable operatives…, it will be necessary for us to re-consider the date that we have a schedule for the registration to begin; we will announce a date as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile the Political Parties forming the Inter Party Advisory Committee agreed to the postponement of the exercise.
