Lawyer and former Ghana's High Commissioner to India Sam Pee Yalley suspects the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) wants the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission to be impeached ‘just to ensure Akufo-Addo’s victory in 2020'.
According to him, he knows the President to be an upholder of the rule of law and that “he will be disappointed if the president uses ‘a hanky panky’ way to win the elections”.
His comment comes on the back of an impeachment process that has been initiated against Madam Charlotte Osei.
A five-member committee was last month initiated to look into allegation of corruption against the EC chairperson.
The inquisitorial committee, whose members are yet to be made public, is expected to investigate Madam Charlotte Osei, together with her two deputies, Georgina Opoku-Amankwaa, who is in-charge of Corporate Services, and Amadu Sulley, in charge of Operations.
If you may recall, some unnamed staff petitioned President Akufo-Addo to trigger an impeachment process against Madam Charlotte Osei.
The accusation against Charlotte Osei included directing of GH¢3.9 million to partition an office, her receipt of a Toyota Land Cruiser from the Mahama government, expending about $14 million when the Public Procurement Authority had authorised her to use only $7.5 million.
Mrs Osei launched her own attack, drawing in the two deputies: Georgina Opoku-Amankwaa and Amadu Sulley.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s 'Alhaji and Alhaji' programme, Saturday, Sam Pee Yalley said the “NDC will resist any attempt to rig the 2020 elections”.
“If Nana Addo will win the 2020 election, it will not be by tricks; it will be by what he has done. NDC will not; shall not allow any attempt to rig the 2020 elections; they should not dream. They can bring the best but we are capable . . . if they think by invoking ROPAA and other tricks they can win the elections, they will be smiling at the wrong side of their mouth,” he added.

PEE Yarlley, another f0000000000000000000000001sh man in NDc
One thing I like about NDC is that, they have tested the paws of Ghanaians and found us to be cowards. So their strategy to get whatever they want is 3hunahuna and patapaa. That is why I like the NDC party. Bravo NDC. Oh please NDC we beg you don't burn Ghana wai because we are afraid. Thank you NDC for having mercy on wai.
'BONTUA'
NDC members were jumping over the roof when Afari Gyan, Charlotte Osei and Co. tried every possible means to disgrace and discredit Agyemang Konadu Rawlings,Papa Kwesi Nduom and the Rest and saw NDC members popping Champagne and now their beloved is caught of financial malfeasance so they say they will cause MAYHEM.Okey we hear but we can assure Sam Pee and co. that "THE GREATEST OF ALL MAYHEMS AWAITS THEM" The state must be ready to prosecute and jail them.
Where has he been the past few months? Is he also among the prophets? We cannot be intimidated by the threats of mayhem etc. why don’t you join the Legal team of a Charlotte, Mr Punlic interest lawyer? Ghana is a peaceful nation and so shall it remain. Have a good afternoon
THE NDC SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT WHEN SHE IS FOUND GUILTY SHE WILL NOT BE ONLY IMPEACHED BUT PROSECUTED LIKE THE NDC MINISTERS WHO WERE JAILED BY KUFFOUR.
Is Nana Addo a member of the impeachment panel? or did he empanelled the committee? And the NDC wants power back with your likes? Please credit Ghanaians with some s3nse wai ?
No wonder that this comments were not made on any other radio than Radio Gold and on Alhaji and Alhaji platform. For sanit653717y to prevail at the electoral commission, all those involve in the scandal must be fired.
Sam Pee Yalley, you won't stop talking and disturbing Ghanaians after you connived with niece to disgrace the Ex Vice President Arkaah. Shaaaame on you. Talk sense. Lamptey then CHIRAC boss was remove by you NDC what happened?
Your comments are very unnecessary. The President does not need the EC to be removed in order to win the 2020 elections. If the EC is found guilty of those allegations she will have to step down. It is as simple as that.
