This country is so seeped in corruption in HIGH places it should be the least on anybody's mind to die for this useless cause. They will stop at nothing to bleed this nation dry. Shame on you all.

All of a sudden a report dated 10th Dec 2012 has surfaced and one begins to wonder what it seeks to achieve.
I don't blame so called public officials in Ghana, due to whatever reason these people have shown that they lack the gust to tell Government to truth but to join the band wagon of praise singers when on the face of it, facts and figures point to the contrary, i was of the opinion that CHRAJ would go after human right abuses during the election and not pass judgement on it, it is yet to be seen what "Pink sheets" they analyzed to come to such a conclusion! Fraud in all places are detected after thorough investigations and consequential orders follows: Allow supreme court to speak!!!

WHAT DOES THIS REPORT DATED 10TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2012 SEEK TO DO OR ACHIEVE ON GHANAWEB TODAY THE 20TH DAY OF JUNE 2013 AND AT TIME THE SUPREME COURT IS SERIOUSLY ADJUDICATING ON ON THIS SAME 2012 ELECTIONS? NOW READ THIS: The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) said although there were some irregularities and challenges during Election 2012, they were not significant enough to affect the outcome of the results". NOW THE QUESTION IS, DID THE CHRAJ KNOW THE FACTS THAT WERE GOING TO COME OUT FROM THE TRIAL (UNSIGNED PINK SHEETS, TRANSPOSITIONAL/CLERICAL ERRORS, OVER VOTING, VOTING WITHOUT VERIFICATION ETC) TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT WITH SUCH A STUPID AND NONSENSICAL "VERDICT" OF THEIR OWN STUPID IMAGINATION? THIS GOES TO SHOW HOW DESPERATE THE PRESIDENT AND HIS NDC PARTY ARE TO CLING ON TO POWER. MADAM LAURETTA VIVIAN LAMPTEY CAN YOU PLEASE PURGE YOUSELF OF THIS SACRILEGE BEFORE YOUR WORLD STARTS CRUMBLING DOWN? DON'T MAKE YOUR ORGANIZATION A LAUGHING STOCK. IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE PRESSURE FROM THE PRESIDENCY FORCING YOU TO LIE, THEN QUIT YOUR JOB BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU HAVE PROMISED/RECEIVED FROM THESE GREEDY BASTARDS IS NOT WORTH YOUR REPUTATION.REMEMBER THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S AND JEHOVAH SHALL BE EXALTED!!!

Somehow,Ghanaians are begining to have confidence in our Justice system,so please allowe the SC to deceide whether the irregularities CHRAJ is talking about,had or had no significance on the election results.

No evidence of wrong doing has been presented so far. The petitioners said they worked on just 11,820 pink sheets and look at the mistakes. All stuff being mentioned concerned ballot paper accounting not the voting figures.

The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has rated the December 7, 2012 Election as "free, fair and reflecting the will of the electorate."

It said although there were some irregularities and challenges during the polls, they were not significant enough to affect the outcome of the results.

The verdict of CHRAJ, captured in it's preliminary report on its observation and monitoring of the elections, is in tandem with other observation reports from the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) and the ECOWAS observer group, since the release of the results on Sunday, December 9, 2012.

The eight page preliminary report of CHRAJ, signed by the Commissioner of CHRAJ, Ms Lauretta Vivian Lamptey, gives a brief on the monitoring activities of the National Human Rights Commission, prior to and during the two-day polling period.

Principally, the Commission, set out to monitor the right of Ghanaians to vote.

Significantly, the CHRAJ noted challenges in the enjoyment of the right as a result of the failure of verification machines in many parts of the country.

"The situation was more serious in Greater Accra, Northern and Upper East regions, where the Commission's observers directly encountered eleven of such polling stations," the report stared.

It said the challenges with the verification equipment, leading to the suspension of voting at certain polling station, created anxiety and frustration among voters.

Additionally, it resulted in the devising of unscientific methods, such as the buying of coca cola to wash the hands, to enable the verification equipment capture the fingerprints, observed by CHRAJ at the Inti-Suariya Primary School polling station.

The report added that "at the Kanvilli R/C Polling Centre in Tamale, a hot coal pot was provided for voters to dry their hands after washing with soap and water before their fingers could be captured. Most of those affected by the problems of verification were elderly women, some young women who had dyed their hands and fingers with a local herb called 'lenle' were also affected."

CHRAJ also pointed out other challenges that tended to undermine the right to vote. The late arrival of polling materials at some stations, partisan broadcasts by some media houses, incumbency abuse and influences by some opposition parties, the flouting by chiefs of the constitutional injunction not to engage in active partisan political activity, and the flouting of the Code of Conduct of Public Servants by public servants who were seen openly campaigning for votes, as well as the use of children in political campaigning, were some of the observations that CHRAJ said impinged on Ghanaians right to vote.

The Commission, deployed 335 monitors and observers and monitored about 2000 polling stations, including stations in some prisons.

Another corrupt and incompetent thief has added her name to the list of the cabal of thieves in Ghana. With weak intellectual and professional ability she is only interested in using institutions to continue to defraud the populace. Like Afari Gyan and others Vivian Lauretta Lamptey has added her name to the list of Ghana's corrupt class. Djulor, Awe, Kronfour!!!

Afari Djan doesn't know where even the ballot papers were printed, so CHRAJ has no clue what they are talking about. They were just going by Obasango's observation at the time.

If there were irregulearities, it means the election was never fair, so why jump to that hasty conclusion? Or has CHRAJ taken over from the SC to pass judgement? If on the other hand CHRAJ thinks the petitioners have no solid case in court it should send it's findings to the SC, to save Ghana from financing this case and time wasting.The SC is there to verify if at all there were irregularities and to what extent they affected or influenced the final results. CHRAJ should therefore shut up and rest in peace.

How can irregularities becomes insignificant to affect result of 2012 election?Did this woman examine all the presidential election documents before coming out with her stupidity.Opposition NPP should call for indictment of Lauretta Lamtey to parliament to explain how she manage to get EC presidential result document and when did she examine those document,What is her finding.Her action is contempt of count and abuse judicial ruling.Failure for her not to respect parliament should be call her reignination of her position for misleading general public out of ignorant and perjudice.

So why this article at this time? This is ndc propaganda. You see the problem is not the free and fair now. After the people have been allowed to exercise their right, what comes after or what the officials do with the votes is now the problem. So although it was free and fair. What is going on now at SC tells that the case wasn't like that.

Upon all our insult, we shd not forget that, when we share, all wht we have is this smll tinny country of ours, if we look upon our political affiliations and led Ghana into war, there is no way we are going to hug our beloved country again.
Pls lets try and protect our one and only country Ghana. All our sister countries are looking up to us for shelter. How on earth must we go to them for food. May God forbid .
Lets stop the politics of insult and become one people. We shd nt let the politicians to convince us to kill one another.

Had CHRAJ taken their time to investigate properly, they would have come out with report consistent with the elections, and draw a conclusion that could have been more convincing e.g. There were some irregularities but the result reflect the popular will of the people, or there were some irregularities and that they might have affected the election results.
Unfortunately, the CHRAJ simply acted as a rubber stamp, and did not deliver an objective verdict. So they are just wasting the taxpayer's money. Sad indeed.

The entire world watched the Ghana Presidential election; nominated international observers were also on the ground in Ghana to observe the election

- contrary to what the NPP's a bit of an idiot Akyem Akufo is saying, all and sundry say that Ghana is matured in politics; and the way the election was carried out was fair; giving out Mahama the winning candidate; but

- despite the fact, that the entire world has congratulated Ghana for good work done, this NPP's buffoon Akyem Akufo Ado is in Court saying that he has carried out his own detection to discover that he won the election against Mahama; and that, the entire Ghana electorate were crooks who ganged up with the Electoral Commissioner for him to declare that Mahama won

- last week, this bluffer Akyem Akufo Ado came to london with a mission that the former English man colonial master supports him to be President of former colonial Gold Coast; but

- for sure, the good English man ordered him to return to Ghana with his foolishness; for, the English man does not go to Court if he does not win an election
