Believe me; EC has been caught on a number of occasions sleeping in bed with the NDC electoral thieves since 1992, when the so-called P/NDC revolutionaries cunningly changed their Khakis to civilian clothes to enable them perpetuate their dreadful, undemocratic misrule. Until the corrupt generation of those occupying the EC presently is dead and gone, or their corrupt ways changed completely, Ghanaians will continue to believe, and rightly so, that they are only there to serve their own interest and the interest of their NDC paymasters.

This lady's intransigence is very befuddling. Instead of supporting and promoting democracy as an inclusive process, she is hell bent on excluding participation based on technicalities. The banned candidates and their supporters should be encouraged to participate in the electoral process by allowing them to rectify whatever errors that may have made in their application instead of using that as a basis to exclude them. That is putting form over substance which is really asinine.
Could all this be part of her grand scheme to throw the elections in favor of Ford Incompetent and take off from the country to join her husband and two children who she has already relocated to Virginia. Why would she move her family if she meant well? And how did she afford the house she purchased for them in Virginia and how
is she supporting them financially in Virginia as her husband is not authorized to work in the States and has not been working? It could not be from her civil service salary. So who is paying for all that? The answer is so obvious even Stephen Wonder can see through it.

Charlotte Osei EC Boss
It is exactly one month to the crucial Presidential and Parliamentary elections, but everything is in a limbo. Instead of the count-down, we are now counting the number of court suits against the Electoral Commission.

When an Accra High Court, presided over by Mr. Justice Kyei Baffour, ruled on Friday in favour of a petition before it, and ordered the Electoral Commission to allow Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, founder and flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party, to correct the details in his nomination forms and re-submit same for consideration, as part of an elaborate process to put his name on the national presidential ballot paper, it opened the floodgates for more suits against the commission.

Today, lawyers for Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings are expected to move to an Accra High Court, in a case in which the former First Lady is seeking the re-instatement of her name on the 2016 presidential ballot box. Tomorrow, another court in Accra is expected to give a directive on a similar case involving Dr. Edward Nasiri Mahama, the disqualified flagbearer of the People’s National Convention.

There is every indication that the commission would be very busy in court in the preceding days. With the presidential and presidential elections at the home stretch, the Electoral Commission should be more concerned about the election processes, and not petitions.

For me, as a social commentator, the problem should be laid squarely at the doorsteps of President John Dramani Mahama, who thrust the heavy burden of supervision over this nation’s elections on the tiny shoulders of largely, untried and less than clear nationality identity of Mrs. Charlotte Osei.

There two major reasons why I have always believed Mrs. Osei has no business leading the Electoral Commission. If you Google Charlotte Osei to Wikipedia, you would be told that Charlotte’s mother was a Nigerian. The old lady visited her ancestors about six months ago.

Charlotte herself was born in Nigeria. We have a Constitution, which states clearly in Article 44 (1) thus: “A person is not qualified to be appointed a member of the Electoral Commissioner unless he (or she) is qualified to be elected as a Member of Parliament.

Article 94 (1) on qualification and eligibility of a Member of Parliament states: “Subject to the provisions of this article, a person shall not be qualified to be a Member of Parliament, unless he (or she) is a citizen of Ghana, has attained the age of 21 years, and a registered voter.

Among many others, “a person shall not be qualified to be a Member of Parliament if he (or she) owes allegiance to a country other than Ghana.”

Constitutional experts argue that Mrs. Osei could have acquired Ghanaian citizenship through the father, listed as Kesson-Smith, or through marriage to the person known as Mr. Osei, definitely a Ghanaian name. Be it as it may, Kesson-Smith is one name that could resonate in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria.

What is never in dispute is that while a student at the University of Ghana, Charlotte refused to be identified with Ghana. She was known and called ‘Ama Alata.’ I do not believe any true Ghanaian would want to be identified as ‘Alata.’

Mrs. Charlotte Osei obtained her Masters in Law at the Queens University in Canada. A number of her mates were Ghanaians. Charlotte decided, out of her own volition, to join the Nigerian International Students Association at the university. By then, her room-mate was Lady Julia, now wife of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene. I am told that there was a vibrant Ghana International Students Association, but our current Chairperson of the Electoral Commission turned her back on the Ghanaian association.

For her, she was a Nigeri

Mahama has really fallen asleep at the wheel (maybe too much whisky), but if he had any sense he would sack this NIGERIAN woman before she directs the nations democracy into utter chaos.

Lawyer Kwame Adofo, am also surprise and disappointed in you as a Lawyer. Every Lawyer studies Administrative and Commercial Law at LL.B level. Can one also say that you Lawyer Kwame Adofo did not study Commercial Law at your degree Level? She also has the right go to Court as Nduom did. Why can't we also blame Dr. Nduom for going to Court for this small administrative error and let the sleeping dog lies? Why why?
