CLAAG THREATENED MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION OVER ALLEGED MISMANAGEMENT AT NLA.

The Concerned Lotto Agents Association of Ghana(CLAAG) has threatened to shake the country with massive demonstration across the country.

According to CLAAG, NLA demanded a whooping sum of One Million Ghana Cedis from private lotto operators as registration and licensing fees in a so called Banker to Banker regularization and most of these operators have indeed paid the said fees since April 2018 and are yet to be licensed which NLA promised has failed.

The Executive Secretary for CLAAG, Mr. Kwaku Duah Tawiah said, the only way to get government to put a searchlight on the National Lotto Authority (NLA) and its current mismanagement and poor leadership is to demonstrate against the government for not fulfilling its promised.

Mr. Tawiah added that, NLA has now turned round to claim ownership of VAG Lottery and demanding the deprived Lotto operators to register with them on terms yet to be disclosed.

He continued that, with an estimated lotto sector dependents of over One Million Five Hundred people, this attempt by the NLA is to render them jobless and will further worsen the unemployment menace and wreck economic havoc in Ghana.

According to him, they have shockingly been informed that NLA without recourse to National Procurement guidelines has imported into the country E-kiosks and accompanying gadgets to be sold and imposed on Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers at exorbitant prices ranging from GHc15,000 to GHc 20,000.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged.
