The embattled deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission in charge of Corporate Services, Georgina Opoku-Amankwa, has launched a scathing attack on her boss, Charlotte Osei, claiming that the Chairperson of the electoral management body is inexperienced for the job she is occupying.
According to her, if the EC Chair had possessed the requisite experience in corporate service, the Commission wouldn’t have been in turmoil like what the public is witnessing at the moment.
In a fifteen-page document response to twenty-five (25) points of allegation leveled against her by Charlotte Osei, Madam Opoku-Amankwa said it baffles her imagination for her boss to accuse her of any wrongdoing knowing very that her [Charlotte Osei] actions and inactions has brought the image of the EC into disrepute.
For instance, she said before the Chairperson took office, management meetings were held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But for reason best known to Charlotte Osei, she stopped the practice and rather resorted to dealing with Directors at the blindside of the deputy Chairpersons.
“It became known that Charlotte Osei did not want to make information common to all by adopting ‘divide and rule tactics’. For reasons best known to her, she began meeting deputies separately and did not want to meet the two of us at the same time. Her divisive leadership coupled with her inexperience corporate tendencies ‘killed’ the management meeting naturally. She therefore resorted to using some members of the Commission in performing the duties of the deputies,” Madam Opoku-Amankwa’s documented response in part read.
She added “The Chairperson refused to attend to court proceedings of litigations largely created by her arrogant posture and inexperience electoral administration skills.”
Reacting to an allegation that she refused to disclose the financial status of the Commission to the chairperson and that no disclosures as to amounts paid out or outstanding are made as well as not providing financial reports, Madam Opoku-Amankwa said “This accusation is very strange to me because as stated earlier, she [Charlotte Osei] deals directly with the officers concerned (Director Finance, HR and Administration). I have under no circumstances physically or otherwise prevented any of such officers from providing any information to the chairperson. She sidelined me immediately she assumed office and resorted to deal with directors who make these reports available to her.
Notwithstanding, she never requested such reports from my outfit. It is important to note that our external auditors always submit the financial statement of the Commission to the Chairperson’s office stating the financial position of the Commission. The accounts is always signed by the Chairperson and the deputy Chairperson (F&A). This allegation is therefore unfounded and baseless.”

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE GHANANAIN LIKES EARLY JUDGEMENT, WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT WE ALL HAVE STAINS IN OUR DRESSES
the deputy who was there b4 charlotte came is saying someone is Inexperienced yet u the experiences is STILL not the chair. shame Georgina Opoku-Amankwa. u are a disgrace.
Afari Gyan has been in this position for over 20 years we never heard any problem. this woman took over only few months ago and the whole place is on fire. the only thing that comes into my mind is that she is not good enough for the position. she can do well in other positions but not as EC chair. I knew she was not going to last bcos of her posture on the job. she wants to show everyone she is the boss and that is what is bringing her down. Kill your arrogance before it kills you. word!
SHAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEE ON YOU MADAM DEPUTY...AAAHH
incompetent john mahama has tarnished charlotte 'bottooom power' Osei's life, career, image etc forever and ever, amen.
Charlotte Osei cannot and will not lead the EC again. It is more than clear, Charlotte Osei has completely failed to meet the minimum standard of integrity, honesty, diligence and enormous responsibility that comes with the office as EC Chair. Charlotte Osei must therefore resign immediately as there is no confidence in her ability and capability and integrity to lead the Electoral Commission of Ghana,She must leave we don't need her again
You said it all.
HMMMMMMMM I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE FEEL INTIMIDATED WHEN A WOMAN IS IN HIGH AUTHORITY, THIS EC ISSUE IS A CLEAR CASE OF WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU CAME SO SCUM TO ALL OUR WAYS OR BETTER STILL I AM MORE COMPETENT THAN YOU BUT YOU WERE APPOINTED TO LEAD US AND WW WILL MAKE YOUR STAY A LEAVING HELL. I NOW UNDERSTAND WHEN PEOPLE SAY WOMEN ARE THEIR OWN DEVILS. WHAT IS ANNOYING IS THE ISSUES ARE NOT PERTAINING TO ELECTION 2016 BUT RATHER PERSONAL INTEREST. WHO IS BOSS OVER WHO. I THINK THE MEDIA SHOULD STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION BECAUSE WE ARE WASTING TIME ON PETTY ISSUES WHEN WE HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES TO DEAL WITH AS A COUNTRY.
So upon all your rebranding of EC logo and disqualification of candidates and parties, is this what you have achieved? In fact, Botttooooom Power, you are a disgraceee!!!!!
Somebody should play Nana Ampadu's song "Woyoo Woyo" for the EC Commissioners.This can hurt all of you.Let cool heads prevail!
