Founding President of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has said the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Charlotte Osei, is being “unnecessarily persecuted” due to her resolve to clean “the rot” at the election management body.
There has been bad blood between Mrs Osei and her deputies. Some staff of the Commission have accused Mrs Osei of fraud and financial malfeasance and petitioned the President to remove her. Mrs Osei has, on the other hand counter-alleged corruption against her deputies. A petition has also been sent to the president for the removal of the two deputies. The president has referred both petitions to the Chief Justice.
Commenting on the development, Mr Cudjoe told Class News’ Jerry Akornor in an interview that: “It is not even constitutionally sensible to be saying she [EC boss] should step down”.
Mr Franklin holds a strong view that Mrs Osei “is being unnecessarily antagonised”, adding that “there was a lot of rot there (Electoral Commission) already before she went to meet the rot and she is cleaning the rot, allow her to clean the rot”.
Even though he supports investigations, he said calls for the EC boss “to step aside are premature”.
Drawing inspiration from the Wonder Woman fictional story where a princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior fights alongside men in a war to end all wars to save the world, Mr Cudjoe said: “The woman [EC boss] may as well be the wonder woman of our time”.
“I think she is in a swamp full of human sharks who are trying to eat her up. She actually did a whole lot of good for this country.
“ . . Two months before this noise was coming up she had actually prepared her dossier and actually gone ahead to meet the respected persons in this land and told them about the rot at the EC, she came to meet the rot, allow her to clean the rot,” he suggested.

EC Boss will clean the rot and still stay as the Chairperson, as for her deputies, they rather submit to authority or find their way out, for Mrs Charlotte has come to stay for good.
Cudjoe, I respect you and your views a lot but I can tell yo, on this occasion, you have goofed. So 3 rots at EC Office which your lady cleaned are: 1) 1 year old v8 was rot so she had to change it for a new one: cleaning your rot , eh? 2) Her office was rot, so she had to spend money to move HR staff out of their office and use the poor tax payer's money to re-design and re-create it to suit her STATUS? at the expense of the poor taxpayer - Madina kayayo with her baby at her back at 5am crossing two dual arriages and gotten knocked own 3) Afari Djan's official residence was rot so she could not live there so some mad made admirer at the castle had to allocate her a new house? Your rot. You see it saddens me how people rise and fall. It pains me that this dirty pride woman is contributing to your downfall - are you dazed by her colour and her lips like the appointor? Oh my GOD.
Masa forget,she is part of the rota.
Is Franklin saying on authority that Mrs. Charlotte Osei is not part of the rot at the EC for that matter people should allow her to clean the rot? Please with greatest to you kindly allow the process to work to its logical conclusion before prejudging.
