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.

please tell these expired politicians to ***barred word*** if they have nothing important to say.
Even with the NPP in opposition and Charlotte Osei as EC Chair, we beat you guys with the highest margin ever for an incumbent government. What is NDC talking about?
hahahahahaha are these really lawyers??? I cant think far
It is surprising that all good for nothing make noise in the NDC. All these noise are of cause empty. Sam Pee Yaley should come out to prove to Ghanaians to take him serious. This the man who could not manage workers tie ii pension. He has the effrontery to come out to of cause to make this empty noise. Please keep quiet and don't be expose to prosecution for using the poor worker's money to fund you defunct NDC.
The Government of Nana has promised to transform the Ghanaian economy and if his Government succeeds to accomplish only 10% of her policy Projects, that can put NPP comfortably far ahead of NDC to win the 2020 election with any EC of NDC's choice.Am gradually,yet strongly inclined to believe that NDC has empty heads, and Mr Pee Yalley is also a Lawyer.
This guy should go and contribute money towards the running of his NDC party and stop making the necessary noise. Allotey Jacobs said he only talks but do not contribute a penny to the party finances. Pee Yaley or whatever he calls himself should shut the f**uck up!
Sooner than later, the follies of the NDC would be known to all rational beings in Ghana.
Some of these people just want to announce their presence in case we have forgotten about them
I EXPECTED A BETTER ANALYSIS FROM MR. YARLEY BUT I THINK THIS IS TOO PAROCHIAL. IF NANA COULD WIN IN OPPOSITION DESPITE THE ABUSE OF INCUMBENCY, I DON'T THINK HE WILL TRY TO THROW OUT THE EC BOSS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO WIN THE 2020 ELECTION. GHANAIANS ARE FED-UP WITH NDC AND THEIR CHOPIE CHOPIE GAMES,CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE STRATEGIES AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK TO POWER IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS. ALL CORRUPT OFFICIALS MUST BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE. LONG LIVE GHANA. MERRY X'MAS.
I expected Sam to raise the bar. This is below the belt. Is it just a matter of frustration? Oh Sam, you can do better.
