A former Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Hannah Louisa Bissiw, is threatening to mobilize thousands of women on the streets in defense of Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Charlotte Osei if the politically motivated attempt to remove her from office is carried through.
According to the former Tano South lawmaker, attacks on the first female head of the Ghana's election management body is a direct attack on all women in Ghana, adding "Ghanaian women are battle ready to stand by her to fight her detractors".
She explained that events leading to the petitioning of President Akufo Addo by some unnamed staff of the EC "clearly show that this attempt to impeach Charlotte is an NPP pet project."
"The petition itself exposes those behind this plot. This latest attempt to chase out Charlotte is an extension of the NPP's fruitless attempt to block her appointment using the court. You recall when she was first appointed, the NPP said she is NDC . . . she was appointed by John Mahama to rig the election for NDC. They said all these disgusting things about her, we, the women of Ghana kept quiet and left her alone to fight her battle but this time round we are not going to allow the NPP to get away with their devious plot," the former Deputy Minister told newsmen.
She added "recently Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu and OB Amoah alleged that Charlotte Osei was having problem with her deputies and some of the staff...then few weeks later some unnamed staff of the EC put together a petition stating among other things, the same things Hon. Osei Mensah Bonsu and OB Amoah said as basis for which Charlotte should be removed from office. The NPP might have had their way in the past, but this time it will not work, Ghanaian women are battle ready for them”.
Dr. Bissiw stated that she is disappointed in President Akufo-Addo who only recently received award for championing gender equality from the African Union but "is superintending over a government and party bent on harassing Madam Charlotte Osei and getting her out of office".
While admitting that nobody can impede the constitutional process laid down in Article 146, the former MP said there are other legitimate ways of kicking against what "you abhor and one of them is demonstration".
“I will lead a demonstration of Ghanaian women if the frivolous petition is giving a hearing,” she said.
"When the women of this country hit the streets in their numbers in support of their colleague who is bearing the brunt of NPP's vindictiveness, we shall see if President Akufo Addo and NPP can stand it, let alone go ahead with their plans to remove her".
She wrote on her facebook wall “our eyes and ears are wide opened.
If the NPPs think because they are in power Ghana must be turned upside down, then they are in for a big surprise! When she was appointed, there came the stupid and disrespectful allegation from the NPP, that, her position was in exchange for sexual favors.
When some of us spoke against it, women who are today in high offices, opened their gutters to tongue lash us, only for Kennedy Agyapong to come back to apologize to the Lady. This able and capable woman successfully chaired the commission for a successful 2016 elections.
The NPP today, is in office and they want to use gutter politics, in an attempt to remove Mrs Charlotte Osei from office. If they want to taste their own Ungovernable State soup, as they were always taunting when they were in opposition, they should try it, if they think they can always have their evil ways. We are sick and tired of the whims and caprices of the Nauseous Problematic People (NPP). Ghana belongs to all of us.
"They should concentrate on attempting to deliver their dreamland promises that can only be fulfilled in their dreams, at best. We are watching.”

The problem in this country currently is that NDC left poor institution for NPP to take over and an example is the Police institution. Now you see what is happening at the EC.More inefficient institutions will follow very soon but for Hanna Bissiw i wish her good luck during the demonstration and i strongly believe she will meet her METER on that day.
You cannot tell the difference between the learned and unlearned in the NDC. No rational being will support this nefarious NDC Party. Our woes as a nation come from AFRC/PNDC/NDC.
botooom power is biggger than the laws of Ghana therefore no one, including Nana Addo can TOUCH her!!!! If you like touch her and see what Haruna and Hannah will do to you!!! Botooom Power is like the queen of Ghana!!! Ask NDC.
FOOOOOOL1SH WOMAN...TALK IS CHEAP
Hannah Bissiw you yourself should prepare for prison.
The issue at EC is not ND/NPP matter. It is an issue of integrity and criminality. Nobody in this country is bigger than the law even the President of the land. Was it NPP/NDC who told the petitioners and the accused to bring out the allegations and counter allegations? Dr Bissiw, you are higher than this little girls politics of gender card. Put up your thinking cap, because I know you are smarter and intelligent than this stand you have taken. It would not wash as the law is non respecter of gender, not even the powerful butts that you and myself saw in Havana in those years on campus.
LOOK AT HER THINKING THE STILL HOLD POWER IN THE COMFORTABLE LEAD WE THE SUPPORTERS OF NDC HAVE SEEN THAT FROM OUR LEADERSHIP ***barred word*** US DUE TO LIES PRIDE AND CORRUPTION WE LOST THE ELECTION EC COULD NOT RIGGED FOR US.
this is the voice we need in the country. Hannah I like the way u are going.

A doctor that can not access a simple issue but play politic with it. i feel soo very a shamed the way we play politic with every issue that comes our way as a nation. two women fighting and you stand behind one leaving the other and say you are fighting for women. is the other one a man? I.D.I.O.T as a doctor. you only want score political point out of it thereby worsening her case for her. you people don't read so you follow any thrush of a story. learn sense. the only thing you can do is to steal siaaa
