WHY NOT WORRIED ABOUT DISQUALIFICATIONS PEACE COUNCIL?

WHY NOT WORRIED ABOUT DISQUALIFICATIONS PEACE COUNCIL?
Nana Kuffuor, Abeka 7 years ago

The problem with Ghana is, we copy blindly. Our court system is nothing to write home about. Most of them are NPP judges and do not apply the law. Do we believe we can get Justice in our courts?

I hundred per cent agree with Prof Asante. We have some few days for the general election, therefore, the political parties must give peace a chance.

I didn't get it. EC chair rather has to give peace a chance. The utterances of Charlotte Osei are geared towards chaos. eg, she told BBC that if the presidential results are very close, there will be a recount. Meanwhile the law says 50% plus one vote wins. So assuming there is no spoiled ballot and either NPP or NDC gets 50% plus 1 vote, do you think recounting will guarantee peace? During Dr. Afari Gyan's era such pronouncements weren't heard. So we really need to advice Madam Charlotte Osei.

So we allow the injustice and the mess to continue. Ghanaians should not complain in the face of the wrong done to the PPP. Likewise, after the EC has been fed with her intransigence and her pre disposition, she goes ahead and declares the loser, as the winner. Then we sit and fold our arms. Is this what you want for this nation?

Most of the criticism levelled against the EC is out of pure prejudice.Sexism is what is behind most of the criticisms.Some Ghanaians believe that a woman is not capable of handling such a position.

Please, I don't think it is sexism at play here. The criticisms are about what is going on and not the personality of the EC chair. How can a whole EC goes to court to challenge a ruling while you are not a contestant? It is ununderstandable. You are a referee. But for me I see a grand agenda not coming from EC but elsewhere. After all the chief justice is not a man but a woman.

Hypocrisy and cowardice at their apogee [climax] within the so called peace council which is just watching on helplessly as this arrogant and self conceited woman[Charlotte Osei] of a compromised EC chairperson is making frantic efforts to lead us into chaos in her bid to rig the up coming elections for her John Mahama and NDC.That will never happen again.The change we want must come to pass.Peace Council must be bold, frantk with the EC and honest to itself and stop pretending to be worried.

There will be no peace without justice. Yes the NPC can't direct the Ec as to what to do but they can condem their diabolic agenda. Few weeks to this crucial elections yet no credible final voters register has been made available to the political parties. Ghanaians will only accept a free and fair elections and any attempt to rig the elections in favour of John Mahama and his incompetent Ndc will be suicidal. WAKE UP GHANAIANS.

Show some proper leadership and genuine concern. Don't wait for trouble to erupt before you attempt to do anything. The EC is out of her depths. She is clearly inexperienced, arrogant and palpably ignorant. The Peace Council certainly can do something about it. As for our Council of State it is simply bogus and packed with DEAF AND DUMB people who refuse to think. We should not sink as a country by allowing inexperienced dim wits and totally ignorant idiots to determine our collective future.

We all know that the modus operandi of the EC boss does not inure to the benefit of the nation. She is inexperienced but to call her an idiot is too harsh a word. Much as some of us including myself do not like how she is handling the electoral matters, it is equally important that we do not insult her

You are worried about the law suits but no the illegal actions of the EC that caused them. You say nothing about the victimization but you get worried the moment the victims cry foul !!! What kind of Peace Council are you chairing? Charlotte Osei has just awarded a fraudulent election related contract to a dubious defunct British company fronted in Ghana by NDC sympathizers, you idiots are quiet about it but will jump and express worry the moment a patriotic citizen takes the matter to court !!!
You guys should thank God the days of firing squads are no more, because you would have qualified to be brought before a firing squad.

NPP SHOULD RESIST EC WITH ALL THEIR STRENGHT. EVEN UNDER KWADWO AFARI GYAN, THERE WERE IRREGULARITIES IN THE PINK SHEET SERIEL NUMBERS, THERE WERE BLOTTED BALLOT PAPERS. WE KNOW WHAT EC IS DOING TO RIG THE ELECTION FOR NDC. THE COMISSIONERS IN THE EC OFFICE ARE PUSHING EC BOSS TO DO WHAT THEY WANT. EC BOSS CAN'T DECIDE FOR HERSELF AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM GHANA IS FACING NOW. NDC IS PLANNING TO RIG WITH PINK SHEETS, BALLOT PAPERS AND COLLATION SHEETS. GHANAIANS ARE WATCHING YOU CRITICALLY AND EC BOSS WILL PAY FOR ANY PROBLEM THAT WILL ARISE

Stop being in bed with Government and EC. How can the parties let peace prevail when proper things are not being done.

This is the most hypocritical, lame-duck and useless Councils in Ghana only next to the Council of State. And it is staffed by Professors? That is why I felt so sad when Prof Martey accepted his nomination; he should have wisely rejected it. Sometimes I wonder if these old Professors do any thinking anymore or are just safeguarding their stomachs from the ruling government. Prof Martey, I beg you resign, I respect you so much. As for Prof Frimpong, he looks to me too confused.

Is this man a Professor at all? He appears to have no sense of the law. Look at him trying to defend EC when EC is clearly in the wrong. These are some of the yesterdaymen in NPP creating so backward looking decisions leading to chaos. This Prof appears to be safeguarding his stomach only. Look, at people with no PhDs winning cases against EC and you a Prof is saying something different. SHAME ON YOU. PLEASE RESIGN YOUR SEAT. YOU LOOK SO CONFUSED FROM THE OUTSIDE. wHERE DID YOU GET YOUR PROFESSORSHIP?

Yes, Prof. Asante you may not tell the EC how to do its job but you can meet privately with the EC to explore alternate conflict resolutions (ACR) approaches within the confines of the law. Even our courts do allow cases to be settle out of court. Arbitration is one of the ACR methods that bring peace. This EC chair is inexperienced and is behaving like an examiner of term papers. She gloats arrogantly that she is happy with law suits against the EC obtuse about the fact that losses undermine her and the ECs credibility Court battles with the EC is not the goal of running a fair and transparent election but advancement of democracy and the rule of law. Administrative high handedness is combustible fodder for conflicts in electoral disputes.There can only be Peace when there is a perception of justice. The Peace Council's ostrich like behavior on matters of grave importance like the disqualification of aspirant is regrettable. It's is difficult to bring Peace after sectarian wars have started. Quite proaction is better than reaction combustible issues.

Whats the point of your interview if you cant say A or B to EC but Ndc can. Leave it to Ndc. Why get concerned what is the use of the council you chair. You lot are getting tax payers money on false pretence if you cant bite.

THE PEACE COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE FIRST CONDEMNED THE CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE THE DISQUALIFIED PRESIDENTIAL CANDITATES,FOR SUBMITTING IN FORGED APPLICATION TO THE ELECTORAL COMMISION OF GHANA:

HE SUITS BROUGHT AGAINST THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION AT THE LAW COURTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED IMMEDIATLY BECAUSE THEY WERE NO SUBSTANCE IN THEM.

SHOULD A FAILED STUDENT IN PHYSICS AND ENGLISH SEEK ACTION AGAINST HIS FAILIURE AND FOR THE COURT TO ADVICE THE EXAMINATION TO ALLOW HIM TO CORRECT HIS MISTATKES.

ITS ONLY THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA WHERE POLITICS HAS BECOME THE ONLY PREOCCUPATION WILL COURTS IN THE COUNTRY ASK THE ELECTORAL COMMISSIONER TO ALLOW SUCH CORRECTIONS TO TAKE PLACE AT THEIR AGENCY.

I DOUBT VERY MUCH IF THE PEACE COUNCIL OF GHANA IS WORRIED OVER SUCH KIND OF MAD SUITS IN THE COUNTRY.

PRIMITIVE POLITICS STILL GOES ON IN THE COUNTRY, HOW DO WE THEN PROGRESS AND ADVANCE IN THE 21st CENURY.

A SAD AFFAIR WHICH NOTHING CAN JUSTIFY IT.
