There are more questions than answers for Electoral Commission of Ghana

There are more questions than answers
Pictures in my mind that will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out the less I know
Yeah, the more I find out the less I know

I've asked the question time and time again
Why is there so little of a moment
Oh, what is life, how do we live
What should we take and how much should we give
There are more questions than answers
The less I know
So little, so
The less I know
 
(Johnny Nash).
Yes there are more questions than answers and how aptly Mr. Nash's lyrics quoted above fits in the unfolding drama in Ghana. The report that a 47-year old Archibald Laryea has been picked up at the Naroda polling station at Sakaman in the Ablekuma North Constituency in Accra, Ghana on Tuesday 17th April 2012, for attempting to register for the 16th time in the on-going biometric voters registration (BVR) exercise raises more questions than answers.
The names Mr Laryea used in his registration were: Gufhid Quist Jox Provencal, Qusitjox Danfo Kwetey, Epicurus Ahenu Tarlo, Justice Fred Provencal, Philip Obletey Tackie, Victus Wilfred Juqwyjbusu and Anthony Akote.

The rest are Victor Wilfred Abety Moux, Victor Gloveuched, Victor Wilfred Nampty, Provencal Kwetey Buzim, Laryea Archibald, Emmanuel Nii Laryea, Job Maxwell Auashong. He used different ages on all his registration cards.
A search by the police at his Dansoman residence also revealed a startling 13 old registration cards and some toy revolvers under his bed.
The questions that need answers include the following:
1. How indelible is the so-called indelible ink applied to the left index finger?
2. What is his reason (s) for engaging in multiple voter registration?
3. Why did it take the 16th attempt before he ran out of luck?
4. What is the assurance that the BVR is capable of arresting the challenge of multiple registration which occasioned its adoption in the first place?
5. How many more people have engaged in this act and gotten away with it?
6. Do you as a patriotic Ghanaian have any level of confidence in the system's proof of citizenship test? 
The future security and peace of Ghana depends to a large extent on the credibility of this BVR and for God's sake, the Electoral Commission must provide answers to the questions. There are more questions than answer....
