It appears there is no end in sight to the conflict between the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei and her two deputy Commissioners, Georgina Opoku Amankwa and Amadu Sulley.
A leaked internal memo sighted by Kasapafmonline.com has Amadu Sulley complaining bitterly over non-recognition of his office by Charlotte Osei ever since she resumed from leave.
The document dated July 27, 2017 and addressed to the Chairperson of the Commission and copied to all the Commission members said “I have observed with concern of your non-recognition of my presence in the office since you resumed from leave. This is because you have been dealing with the Director of Human Resource (Mr. Samuel Boadu) in the absence of the Deputy Chairperson, Corporate Services.”
“It will be recalled that on 5th July, 2017, you wrote to the Deputy Chairperson, Corporate Services, to proceed on leave following EOCO’s directive. I wrote to reschedule my leave on the 15th June, 2017. On the 20th June, 2017, the Deputy Chairperson, Corporate Services wrote to recall me from leave. I have been in the office since then.”
“Per the organization structure of the Commission, in the absence of any of the Deputies, the other Deputy acts on behalf of him/her. It is therefore unfortunate that you have resorted to use the Director of Human Resource (Mr. Samuel Boadu) as your Deputy contrary to administrative procedure.”
Sulley worried about this administrative lapse, therefore called on Charlotte Osei to recognize his office henceforth in accordance to the structures of the Commission

THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANTLY CASTIGATING THE EC BOSS ARE NOT INTELLIGENT A BIT. AS A STAFF WHO WANTS TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS,MADAM CHARLOTTE OSEI SHOULD RATHER BE APPLAUDED. AFARI GYAN PRESIDED OVER AN UNACCEPTABLE ROT IN THE EC. WHEN THE WOMAN ASSUMED OFFICE,SHE SAW THAT IF SHE DIDN'T TAKE MEASURES THINGS WERE GOING OUT OF CONTROL. THESE WERE MET WITH STIFF RESISTANCE FROM THE VERY DEPUTIES WHO SHOULD ASSIST HER RUN THE EC BECAUSE THEY LED THE ROT. THEY DID SO MANY THINGS WITHOUT CONSULTING HER, EVEN GOING ON LEAVE WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE AND DOCUMENTS BEING SENT TO THEM WHILST ON LEAVE TO SIGN AT THE BLIND SIDE OF THE EC BOSS. A GLARING EXAMPLE IS A CONTRACT THESE TWO DEPUTIES AWARDED TO A FIRM(NAME WITHHELD)TO PROVIDE SOME SERVICE TO EC AT A COST OF 21 MILLION CEDIS. MADAM OSEI SAW THE COST AS TOO MUCH AND FOLLOWED HER DEPUTIES FOR EXPLANATION TO NO AVAIL. SHE(EC BOSS) SUBSEQUENTLY WROTE AND INVITED THE COMPANY FOR A DISCUSSION TO REVIEW THE CONTRACT. THE REVIEW OF THE CONTRACT BROUGHT THE CONTRACT SUM DOWN TO 7 MILLION CEDIS SAVING THE STATE 14 MILLION CEDIS,WHICH THESE TWO DEPUTIES WOULD HAVE POCKETED. IN FACT, THE EXAMPLES GOES UNABATED. THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY THEY TOGETHER WITH THEIR ACCOMPLICES AT THE EC GANGED UP AGAINST HER AND SCHEMING TO REMOVE HER. HOW CAN SUCH A PERSON WHO WANT THE RIGHT THINGS BE RATHER SACKED FROM OFFICE?. SOME OF US AT THE EC ARE HAPPY THAT THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. IF WE ARE IN A COUNTRY THAT WANT PROGRESS,IT IS RATHER THE TWO DEPUTIES WHO SHOULD BE SACKED AND NOT MADAM OSEI. AS DEPUTY AMADU SULE, HE IS TOO SMART AND A COMPLETE CRIMINAL. HIS CUP WILL SOON BE FULL.
How Christian is The Christian Council of Ghana? It is among the institutions that the continued stay of the NDC in power has adulterated. Moreover, the issue at the EC is a legal one with possible criminal dimension. As such, only a full scale probe will solve it once and for all. As for those who are factoring political undertones into it only time will expose them.
EVERY ORGANIZATION CAN SUCCEED ONLY WHEN THERE IS PROPER OBSERVATION OF RULES AND LAW THAT REGULATE THE LIFE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG ITS OFFICIALS. WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE EC IS CHAOTIC AND EARLIER THE MATTER IS RESOLVED THE BETTER FOR THE NATION. THE GROWING TENSION REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO THE LIFE OF THE EC.
This is getting out of hand! It's hard time something is done about it! I hope Bishop Benny Wood, the host of the NDC political platform show called ' Pastors' Forum' and CCG organizer is taking note, since because of his NDC biased views, thinks and spreads untruth that, it's the NPP who is behind all that is going on at the EC!
Fatcobra, l agree with you, but as you are aware, Ghana, we are not civilized oooo, we are not.
Ghana paaaa nie??? we don't talk about important things ooo. At least a country like Ghana who claimed to Christian nation should be able to resolve this issue through the Christian council.
***barred word***. What has this got to do with your miserable lives? Our hospitals are death-traps; our roads are in terrible shape and you miserable lot worry about the internal wranglings of the EC? No wonder Ghana is in a terrible economic state. The citizenry has been unconcerned with important issues.
Charlotte Osei is becoming too arrogantt to my liking,upon all what has happened, one would have expected her to take sober reflection on very thing that is bringing the commission name into disrepute, but she is stubbornn to Listern
Oyiwa, Oyiwaoooooooo, Oyiwa. God richly bless Kennedy Agyepong. This is a disjointed Commission. Can all the three top capos involved at EC do the honourable thing as it is done in civilized societies, to just resign, step aside, run away, hide , disappear. Any word that helps. The image if the EC was not good prior to this but now paaa di3 aaaahhh! e be w0rse. Gob bless Ghana.
