Good riddance IEBC, what next?

IEBC Chair Issack Hassan

Last year, I bumped into one of the IEBC commissioners. She asked me what I thought about their tenure of office in the face of calls for their removal. Because the meeting was unplanned and being a gentleman, and she a seemingly nice wife out shopping with her husband, I found the question rather tricky at first.

Nonetheless, I remember telling her that when one side protests stridently against the choice of a referee in a football match before the start, chances are the outcome will be contested on the basis of independence and fairness in terms of judgement with regard to doling out of free kicks, throw-ins, yellow and red cards, as well as penalties from the 12-yard line.
