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.”

PEACE FM NEWS TEAM SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL. HOW COME YOU PUBLISHED EVERY NAUSEATING BAD BREATH OF THIS APOLOGY OF A HUMAN BEING. AND BLOCK / DISTORT PEOPLE RESPONSE TO HIS INCITEFUL COMMENTS. I DON'T THINK HE ALWAYS LOOK HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR. LOOK HE SHOULD NOT INVITE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. NDC APPOINTED AND DEPOSED CHRAJ BOSS; I HOPE GHANA WAS IN FLAMES THEN. OR MADAM LAMTEY WAS NOT SOME PEOPLE FAVOURITE, MOTHER, ETC. SO FAR WHAT I CAN SEE IS MOST OF JOHN MAHAMA RECRUITS ARE TAINTED; NO WONDER.
Amaliba, if the law finds Charlotte Osei guilty, then the same law that appointed her will definitely remove her from the office, And to Amaliba, let me also warn you and those !d!0ts who think like u, we are prepared for you this time around, it will be in your best interest to stay away from all these unnecessary confrontations. Someone just whispered to me that Amaliba is a lawyer, that's good, so will advise you organize yourself and fight for her in court, that's is she's going to be prosecuted. Ever since I heard the name Amaliba, is being associated with stup!d!ty, you should be a lawyer of high standards and not fuulishness
Let these men of the opposition understand that we the true citizens of Ghana will defend the nation with our last drop of blood to make this nation great and strong. A true citizen of the land won’t talk the way these guys are talking. Their machinations will follow them into their grave but ew the citizen of this nation will live in peace forever.
shame on you and your family, you irresponsible lawyer
Hear this man called what.......Amaliba!!! Did Ghana burn when the then CHRAJ boss, Madam Lamptey was sacked? Someone should answer for meoooo....what is this EC woman doing for NDC?
Amaliba, i dare you and your NDC to do anything silly if Mrs. Osei is found culpable and is removed. You will see that there are men in this country. ***barred word***.
=in fact, this guy called himself a lawyer and make serious disingenuous statement requires an investigation into his unrefined comments.He is not above the law so he must be equal be dealt with as any Ghanaian flouted the law.
close your mouth
