Communications Consultant and Host of Metro TV�s �Good Evening Ghana� show, Paul Adom Otchere has described actions and decisions taken by the EC boss as childish, preventing a free, fair and credible elections.

Paul Adom Otchere on his show yesterday angrily made some utterances after the EC hadlaunched its five-year Development Plan and also introduced to the public its new logo.

�It is a total waste of the country�s resources to be rebranding anything at this time few months to the General Elections. There is confusion about everything concerning the EC, the Interior Minister says something, she contradicts it, Kofi Adams says another and there is total hogwash of everything around the EC and the next thing we hear . . . we don�t have confidence in something. She�s supposed to give us confidence and she says I am rebranding and I�m loving the logo. She is supposed to give us credible election and not loving logos and decide what Coat of Arms should mean and actually getting it wrong. This is sad.�

He noted in an interview with PEACE FM news that �I can�t understand why the change of the Electoral logo should be the first and concerned issue of an EC boss when political parties, stakeholders and citizens have bitterly complained and called on the EC to verify the voters register planned to be used for the up-coming elections.�

According to him the procedures and processes used by the EC towards the coming elections is awkward and have never been experienced in this country, just because authorities of the board have taken the laws of the land into their hands refusing to take ideas from any other person, not even the committee set by them.

To him Madam Charlotte Osei is behaving like a child who has lost focus of the exact mandate given to her to occupy the position she holds.

He said the EC boss should be serious and prayerful, as she calls on God to direct her to conduct credible elections and not to be much concerned about rebranding.

He added that even though his �Good Evening Ghana� programme does not take a stance on such arguments, but he couldn�t hold his breath on how the EC boss is managing the affairs of a commission, which is supposed to be one of the most serious and credible organizations in the country.
