President Akufo-Addo appointed Jean Mensa and Dr. Asare Bossman as Election Ministers and not Electoral Commissioner, the opposition National Democratic Congress has said.
In an interview on Class FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com, deputy General Secretary of the NDC Peter Otokunor said the two electoral commissioners are pursuing the political interest of president Akufo-Addo.
“They have got Charlotte Osei removed, she didn’t complete her investigations. A new Commissioner came, they are not even concerned about the investigations we have made. The call over and over again for investigations to be conducted into that incident, the current EC is not bothered. And their actions, their inactions, the way they act, the way they relate with political parties suggest that they are in to do the bidding of the government and it makes it very difficult to disagree when people say that Jean Mensa and the Bossman team were brought in as Ministers of Elections for President Akufo-Addo because all they have done in the past three years is to pursue the political interest of President Akufo-Addo”.
“Certainly, if there’s a serious police service, an institution that is independent, that is functional, that is effective, you needn’t even call for investigations. And there again, you will go back and look at 2016 when the system of the Electoral Commission was compromised and up till today, everybody knows that it was compromised.” He added.
“The EC Commissioner came out and said the system has been compromised. President Akufo-Addo won the elections. Ask whether he has asked any of the security agencies to do further investigations about the compromise of the Electoral Commission transmission system”.
