IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW CORRUPT EC OFFICIALS ARE THEN READ THE FOLLOWING:
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng, has threatened to sue the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana if it does not come out to clear the controversy surrounding the filing of nomination of two NDC candidates for the area.

On the deadline of submission of nomination forms for parliamentary candidates, two stalwarts from the NDC filed to contest the Afram Plains South seat following the resignation of Mr. Boateng, to contest for a second time.

The two, Mark-Oliver Kevor, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NDC and Eric Osei-Owusu are all said to have filed their nomination at the same time but the Returning Officer for the area announced the former as the candidate for the Akatamansonians after scrutinizing his forms.

Kevor, according to inside sources, was given the mandate to file on the ticket of the Akatamansonians by the National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy.

However, Eric Osei-Owusu who contested the incumbent MP but lost, according to party officials, was also given the mandate to file by the party’s Chief Scribe, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito.

The two candidates have been campaigning simultaneously as the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area.

Party officials in the Afram Plains South have for the past three weeks, been putting pressure on the National Executives of the party to settle matter as soon as possible or risk losing the seat to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The MP on Thursday, October 13, 2016 gave the EC a 48-hour ultimatum to publicly announce the candidate who filed to contest on the ticket of the NDC. Failure to do so, he added, will see the EC being dragged to court.

But Mr. Nketiah commenting on the issue in an interaction with sit-in host, Kwaku Owusu Agyei, on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM, Monday, said Eric Osei-Owusu is the candidate the party has sanctioned to represent the Afram Plains South.

“If you go to the records of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, the one who has filed in the name of the NDC and who has been given the power to represent the party is Eric Osei-Owusu,” he announced.

Asked whether he is aware that Mr. Portuphy has also sanctioned the candidacy of Mark-Oliver Kevor, he retorted “We don’t have such in the records of the NDC.”

Mr. Boateng reacting to the comments of his party’s Chief Scribe on the problem said the EC has more questions to answer regarding the eligibility of Eric Osei-Owusu to contest the Afram Plains South parliamentary seat.

He told Owusu Adjei that as at the time of close of nomination, the CEO of Ghana Buffer Stock had not filed his nomination and therefore wondered how Mr. Osei-Owusu got that opportunity to represent the party.

“As at the close of nomination on the deadline date, September 30, 2016, Osei-Owusu had not filed his nomination. The EC closed at 5:00pm. And at 5:30pm, the EC announced that three candidates including Mark-Oliver Kevor had filed their nominations. So, I am wondering how Osei-Owusu filed his nomination.”

“The EC must tell us the date it opened their offices for Osei-Owusu to file his nomination. Again, as at the close of nomination, Osei-Owusu had not transferred his vote to the constituency. So, the EC must tell us when it transferred the vote of Osei-Owusu to the constituency. I want the EC to come out to explain itself on the matter or face court action,” he noted

First of all,learn to know the difference between lower case and upper case and how it is used before writing trash,you have a long way to go go,you need education.

What you and the so called academics especially that Prosper Tsikata don't know is that,Ghana's accreditation board has no jurisdiction over schools outside Ghana,schools outside Ghana do not need recognition from Ghana's so called accreditation board to operate, so if you guys have a problem with those schools and have the balls take them to court in the US and the other countries they are located and stop disturbing our ears with your nonsense.
The IGP and others did not print those certificates to call them fake certificates,schools awarded them them certificates, if you have problem with the schools take them on.

Many of you including this Prosper Tsikata guy got yours true largely online works which you sit in your homes to get answers for questions sometimes with the help of others which does not make much difference from what all these people got.
As for Kobla Dotse I respect him very well not only because of his academic achievement which he got true hard work unlike this Tsikata guy who just got his PhD which he wants the whole world to know as if he is the first to have got that certificate, but I respect Kobla because he is matured only that he allows this boy to be using his name for this nonsense forgeting that this boy hates these people for personal reasons which some wrote here sometime ago.

Ever since this guy got his so called PhD about a year ago from that village Ohio university he wants the whole world to know,in every forum he is there with this trash as if certificate is everything in the world or the problems Ghanaians are facing.
I challenge him to do something for his people which everybody can see as his signature for his people instead of those papers he is hanging on the wall which even his own children will not inherit,which they will throw away after his death,our people need help in many forms but that help is not what he is bragging about,he needs to get life,he should cool down and enjoy the American life,spending all his time on these papers is not life in America,as soon as he joins the rest of Americans he will know that after all, the life in America is different,not about PhD that he wants everybody knows he got especially his Ada Training College mates, that Ada Training College that many of us consider a mushroom Training College,give me a break.

Corney, you write with such personal venom that apart from sounding stupid, you're jealous. Do you think a university has to be urban to be worth its salt or to have the desired accreditation? That alone shows how imbecile and small-minded vermin you are. What difference do you think there is between Prosper's PhD and that of Kobla? You thought Prosper bought his degree from the village Ohio University? What a mega fool are you? Do you know how many great schools in the US that are located in small cities and are called college towns? You live in your own small in the US and the US doesn't seem to have gone through you. You're still fascinated with palm-wine tapper's chatter. You're such a fraudulent mind; if you don't have anything worthy to write, don't come here and spew your nonsensical gibberish.
You must be one of those impostors nurturing the idea to go for a fake degree hence your apologetic stance of the issue. But alas, hasn't Proper and Kobla taken the wind out of your sail? Or perhaps for all we know, aren't you a front-man behind these fake degree scheme and profiting thereof? Yes, we but we wouldn't give you a break because if from a mushroom Ada training college, Prosper could achieve all the laurels he has he is free to blow his own trumpet if nobody else does. You can take anything away from him. Probably the circles in which you're in the US are so pedestrian, you don't see the value of a PhD; after all what's a pearl before swine?
By exposing this racketeering, Prosper is doing more to the society and country than anything else you have on your perverted mind as valuable. Yes, he's eking his own living and doesn't owe anything one within his society anything in pecuniary terms, so what's your beef, Corney?
What have you done with your A-list training college diploma? You're a swine and pathetic s*n-of-@-b^t(h. You are those who are encouraging the corruption in Ghana by associating it with success. You’re a sycophant and a wayward hypocrite; a good-for-nothing jackass.

Does Corney think getting a PhD is about washing the ass of some old ladies and old men in a care home in some God forsake village in America? I hear Corney is a senior ass cleaner in a care home after all the years he has spent in this beautiful country. Akosua Ntriwah, how do you expect Corney to appreciate the toil it takes to get a PHD? Why bother your head responding to a fool who doesn't have an idea what he is talking about. I am not sure Dr. Tsikata has time for fools like Corney the ass cleaner. I know Corney myself. He is a bitter man because he only recently realized that age has done him in and he cannot even boast of a bachelor's after spending many years in America cleaning ass. Naniama!

Someone just forwarded this link to me. I have been trying to make sense of the issues and this one caught my attention. I think this Corney or whatever he calls himself is such an idiot that he simply does not understand what is at stake in Ghana. I believe if one of the writers truly went to Ada Training College and finally managed to get a proper PhD, not the fake ones on the market, then I will salute him again and again. Corney, you are a dick sucker and ass licker. Get a life.

The government of Ghana should investigate all the other fake honorary doctoral degrees in Ghana, including those of Spio-Gabrah, Dzifa Ativor, Price Kofi Klujeson, Gifty Anti, Shirley Ayitey, Kofi Portuphy, Otabil and the many others of that list. In fact, the Ghana Education Service and the Ghana Accreditation Board should take steps to stop these defalcators from using the title "Dr" anywhere in the country or elsewhere.
