    Mahmoud are you a child or ignorant? I will give you some questions to ponder and just maybe your own findings will set you straight. If communism is the evil system you make it out to be then why would God-fearing nations tr ...

    I raised the same issues in my article on Ghanaweb of July 1, 2015 entitled "Has Prez Mahama Acted Unconstitutional with EC Appointment?" I agree with the lawyer.

    It will be interesting to test the law by transferring the EC chairman/woman back to the NCCE by another government in power using the same constitutional provisions. Well done lawyer. We all wait to see.

    This 2*4 radio lawyers lack common sense.

    The president appointed her as EC chair and she resigned from NCCE.

    This simple thing too a full lawywer cant verify?

  • Amega 8 years ago

    If Mrs. Charlotte Osei is allowed to stay at post, in the event of Akufo Addo becoming president, he may also transfer or sack Mrs. Osei. The correction must be made quickly.

  • Kofi 8 years ago

    The reason why we find ourselves corrupt is because we do not allow our own laws to work for us. Some people are above the law of our Country.Personally I think we need to follow our own laws and let it work for Ghana.

    Yes, these are serious constitutional issues. Unfortunately, even many so-called educated people will not understand.
