PNF’S richard nyamah submits petition for removal of EC boss from office

The Progressive Nationalist Forum’s Spokesperson, Richard Nyamah, on 08/02/16 submitted a Petition invoking Article 146 for due processes towards possible removal from office of Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Mrs. Charlotte Osei.
Founder of the anti-corruption PNF has, since blowing the whistle on the EC boss early January, gathered the necessary evidence to make the case that her conduct of serving in and being paid by two State entities flies in the face of the letter and spirit of the constitutional prohibition of such conduct by specified special officers particularly of Independent Constitutional Bodies.
He has, in accordance with law, forwarded a three-page fifteen-paragraph Petition to His Excellency the President John Mahama for onward transmission to Her Ladyship the Chief Justice to commence the processes upon a prima facie determination being made.
Mr. Nyamah takes the view that the EC boss’s belated resignation from Ghana Reinsurance Company Limited (a Limited Liability Company with 100% Ghana government shareholding) smacks of an admission of the breach of the prohibition in Article 44(4) of the Constitution.
He seeks to exercise his right as a citizen to uphold the Constitution against such acts of serious misconduct, and looks forward to demonstrate that she exercised grave misjudgement and violated the Constitutional requirements of her office with “terms and conditions of service as a Justice of the Court of Appeal” and is therefore no longer fit to remain in that august office.
The best interest of Ghana must always be served by all citizens.
Long live Ghana.

Yours faithfully,


RICHARD NYAMAH
