They said: "Mrs. Osei, a lawyer with considerable experience in public service management, institutional reform also has expertise in corporate law, banking, insurance, project financing and public-private partnerships." But they failed to tell us her exceptional practical achievements in the various jobs she had occupied that made her eligible among all the others to occupy the political referee position in Ghana. Which institutions did she manage reform successfully? Frankly,what has been said so far about the lady is not nearly enough.

Is this not job for the girls. For example, this NCCE thing is a waste of every body's time. She will just mess up. What can we put a figure on as her practical achievement to support this humongous appointment. Someone will say she's got deputies. But what if the deputies are themselves good for nothing. This is a serious position and the person for such a job is not this woman.

The president has no right under the constitution to appoint EC chairperson and its members. His powers under the constitution in this regard are perfunctory and not substantive like appointing his own ministers. His appointment of the lady is, therefore ultra vires because the president is a leading political player and does not have substantive powers under the constitution to appoint the political referee. In fact, the appointment is against the letter and spirit of the constitution. Our constitution does not seek to give undue advantage to one political player over the other players, and the real meaning of the word "advice" must be understood in its constitutional context.

That is typical Ghanaian awe of qualifications and titles. In modern practice, with all manner of Universities awarding certificates left, right and centre, serious employers dont look at the qualifications you list in your resume. They check to see what concrete impact you makebin your position. This woman has made no impact on the NCCE since she became its Chairperson. It has become stale since the death ot Larry Bimi.

ALL WE HAVE HAD FROM THE USELESS NDC GOVERNMENT IS DIVISION AND TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION.
NOISY AND DISRESPECTFUL FIIFI KWETEY THE CHARLATAN ECONOMIST, TERKPER AND MAHAMA MUST STOP THE FREE FALL IN THE VALUE OF THE CEDI. That baby with sharp teeh, Fiifi Kwetey who calls himself an economist, insulting sensible people who understand economics well from the days of serial caller till Atta listen to him and made him a minister still doesn't have a solution to the free fall of the cedi. Mahama and his useless NDC PARTY have never done anything good to the Cedi ever since they broke into the political limelight in Ghana 26 years ago. They only create problems for others to solve. Today, if you don't dig your own borehole, you won't get water flowing in your tap like it is in every other civilized country. The less I talk about electricity, the better. It has become normal for patience to sleep on benches in buildings labelled as hospitals. Corruption and bribery is at its highest peak. Citizens who have traveled abroad to seek better life are robbed at our ports of entry of their belongings in the form of custom duty charges. What a country? Ghana can do better if these useless group of people who have been given good 26 years to show us what they can do but have nothing good to show, are kicked out of office in 2016, and a competent political party is elected. VOTE MAHAMA AND HIS MEDIOCRE NDC GOVERNMENT OUT IN 2016 AND GET THE LIFE YOU DESERVE TO LIVE BACK.

The so-called revolutionaries, who were wearing car tire sandals and condemned market women to death for petty profiteering, are now billionaires and cut-throat capitalists enjoying money and power fraudulently. Throughout the period when Ghana was appropriately nicknamed "ojah krom", they perpetuated their rule through the gun, fear and electoral malpractices. Unfortunately, they are the same group overseeing the sinking of this country today, and they will do everything to rig the elections as usual to continue their mediocre rule, despite the fact that Ghanaians want them out.

Dr.Amoako Baah should relinquish his post as the HOD for political science,KNUST.It is obvious he is a die in wool NPP man and Nana Addo loyalist.He has attacked virtually every government policy or decision most often without bases.To question the credibility and experience of Mrs Charlotte Osei is most unfortunate.To damn Afari Gyan is the most reckless and disingenuous statement to be heard from a Ph.D holder in political science.Afari Gyan stands tall and is widely respected internationally.The NPP won two terms under Afari Gyan coming from opposition.The NPP right from time in memorial have penchant for inciting violence and mayhem anytime election results don't favor them.Most of the political upheavals and assassination plots in past times in this country that could have easily resulted in civil war was orchestrated by the NPP.I remember the secret meetings and plan attacks organized on Legon campus in commonwealth hall that led to student agitation (mobrowaa struggle)against the latter days of the Rawlings Government.I remember the near mob action and lynching of then deputy interior minister Tony Aidoo by irate students who have to pull a pistol to safe his life upon visiting commonwealth to engage students in a peaceful dialogue.In my view Charlotte Osei is relatively neutral with the requisite experience to supervise a fair and transparent election.But the rush prejudice and heckling against her is unfounded other than a commonest inferior tactics by the NPP to intimidate her into doing something undemocratic in their favor.I am not holding brief for the Mahama Government that have to face insurmountable obstacles in the wake of deliberate machinations by the NPP to make the country ungovernable and in turn consciously incite the populace against an unpopular government.The court petition hearing challenging the legitimacy of the President was needless,counterproductive,unpatriotic and unnationalistic.It was certainly a major drawback for the country's economic and developmental progress not to mention the numerous NPP incited demonstrations and labour agitations that followed.The government is still grabling with issues of industrial actions with the GMA setting a deadline for en-mass resignation on June 30th on pretext of Service Condition that is being worked on by the MOH.The leadership of the GMA are sympathizers or surrogates of the opposition NPP.Sabotage of government in public institutions by anti-government forces mainly sympathizers of the NPP are galore some in the known, some unknown.The Mahama Government should be blamed for repeating the same mistakes of not heeding to the advise of the Founder in purging the system of anti-government forces with the sole aim of undermining his government.The NPP is rather over confident in having an easy run to victory come 2016 in the wake of the numerous challenges confronting the Mahama Government which they contributed in large measure to.I may not be an expert like Dr.Amoako Baah who is a political Scientist.But my candid opinion on the bases of the facts on the ground is that politics in Africa and for that matter Ghana is not won on the bases of performance.The voting pattern in Africa is not issue or developmental based.Marketability of candidate,communication skill of candidate,political strategies(both crude and refined),political financing,ethnic/tribal/clan lineage and religious ties play a major role in the outcome of election results in Africa and for that matter Ghana.For the simple reason that the large chunk of our population is the ignorant,rural poor these factors will dominate the outcome of election results in African/Ghanaian politics for a long time other than development gains chalked.Even more so for the simple reason that development hardly go to neglected rural areas of Ghana with politicians capitalizing on their illiteracy,ignorance and poverty to ruthlessly exploit them without accountability.This is the very reason why some non-performing MPs have been in parliament for decades barely visiting their constituency not to even talk of development.People following the exploits of the Mahama Government know he can potentially win the 2016 election even by a wider margin because he is one president with a lot of focus on rural development.There have been a lot of rural projects under his government including rural electrification,water,sanitation,health and road projects.This combine with the above mention factors still make him the favorite as an incumbent.There is no doubt the 2016 election will be fair and transparent under Charlotte Osei's supervision.But one fundamental question remains.Will the NPP accept the results in a democratic contest assuming John Mahama emerge victorious in 2016 other than accusing him of rigging the election?NPP functionaries like Dr.Amoako Baah are a potential danger to a democratic process in the sense that they are preparing the minds of their followers to reject any victory other than Nana Addo victory come 2016.To be blunt the 2016 election can potentially throw the country into civil war assuming John Mahama wins a democratic election judging by what happened in 2012 that eventually led to the court petition hearing challenging his incumbency.Every patriotic citizen particularly the state security apparatus should be vigilant in ensuring Ghana remains peaceful and stable irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 election.The likes of Dr.Amoako Baah are beating war drums by their very attitude and should be call to order.

You will forever be disappointed as long as John Mahama remains the President of Ghana. He is not going to to things in your way, allow him to enjoy his presidency. Let the new EC do all the mistakes in the world there is nothing you can do about her appointment. What make you think we liked the Chief Justice ex-president Kuffuor appointed for us before leaving office? But we are still living with that nightmare, if you feel Ghana's democracy is not too good for you. You can pack your bags and luggage off to the U.S that is where real democracy is practiced including freedom to marry your fellow man.
