Private Legal Practitioner and Member of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Amaliba, has said Ghana will not be peaceful if the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei, is removed from office.
According to him, the current government is using the system to harass Mrs Osei, a situation he said does not augur well for the stability of the country.
Mrs Osei is expected to answer for six allegations out of the 27 accusations levelled against her by her two deputies Amadu Sulley (in charge of Operations), and Georgina Amankwa (in charge of Corporate Services).
This was after she appeared before the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court on Monday, December 11, after the President forwarded a petition by Forson Ampofoh and Godsway Dzado, both drivers at the EC office for her impeachment in relation to alleged corruption and mismanagement.
The two deputies are to also answer for their alleged roles in the disappearance of some GHS480,000 from the EC’s Endowment Fund, among other allegations.
Mrs Osei, who was present at the hearing with her lawyer explained that she has not been officially served with the petition. She has therefore written to the presidency to furnish her with a copy of the petition.
She has also written to the Judicial Service to provide her with reasons why she has been asked to appear before the committee even though she has not officially received a copy of the petition to be privy to the accusations levelled against her.
Speaking on this matter in an interview with Accra FM on Tuesday December 12, Mr Amaliba said: “These are the worrying signals. How can you drag somebody to your committee without giving the person a copy of the document and everybody is keeping quiet?”
“…What has the woman done? She has declared election results in your favour and so what again do they want from her that they are using the process to harass her?
“Where are the CDDs? Where are the Occupy Ghanas? If it were to be the NDC government all these people would be speaking by now. Where is Emile Short? Where is Professor Martey? This country will burn and we will see where all of us will be and so they should continue doing it.”

oh Mr. Lawyer I thought you knew better. This country belongs to God and whoever wishes doom will see doom on himself and family. God have mercy on you. Remember people who always think this way never end up well. Tomorrow is not ours let's speak wisely.
I just dont know what makes the npp leadership so co.wardly.Is it too much schooling or they just lack the balls for African politics?.Today the ndc lo;o.ting brigade are walking free after loo.ti;ng state coffers dry,talking no.ns.ense all over the media.Ndc agents now dictating and running the show in gh when they should be running helter-skelter for their massive thie.ve.ry and cor.ruption.The npp are more democratic and booklong than even the originators of democracy.Its a shame.After one year of npp's weakness and no action,ndc crooks have become emboldened and started emerging from under the rock to taunt and rob their lo;o.t in our face.Individuals who have st.o.len,embezz.led and mis.managed BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PUBLIC MONEY turn around to bastardize/sabotage polices like the FREE SHS benefiting the Ghanaian poor.Special prosecutor this ,special prosecutor that:Maybe its a case of scratch my back I scratch yours.Nana Addo has now proven THAT THERE ARE NO TRUE LEADERS IN GHANA.NKRUMAH WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE LEADER GHANA EVER HAD AND WILL REMAIN SO TILL KINGDOM COME.C
You are rather a us3l3ss per ur comment. Must you make this politics just because she was elected by NDC? You are same people who will go about and say the woman wasnt put before justice becos NPP want her to rig election 2020. Stop phooling around and thingk straight like a human being. the EC boss is not above the laws of the country just like his two workers. Your comment is very cheap so go back and think before commenting, Ghana isnt for any political party and even the president is not above the laws of the country.

Another thing that calls himself a lawyer. Ghana will not burn. Who is Charlotte Osei? Has she justified the huge cost of refurnishing her office? How can u use Ghs3,000,000.00 and want us to be free. She accused her deputies. If Ghana burns mark it on the wall. We will burn you, your family, and your associates before anybody else gets burned. I d i o t. naniaama
yes and it will start burning from your house and that of your family members.
TWEAAAAAAAA. You are free to burn your own house, who cares. My house will never burn. LRT THE INSTITUTIONS BURN.
Then you will burn with it, sensible
