Chairperson of the Electoral commission of Ghana , Charlotte Osei, has written to all directors and senior staff of the electoral body who are due for the retirement to proceed to leave.
Her action forms part of plans to bring on fresh minds to
help in the day-to-day running of the Commission.
But a former Chief Director of the
Electoral Commission,
kwame damoah agyemanh, has described her action as misplaced because the
country has barely 9 months to go for the general election. He said on kasapa
FM on Monday that the fast pace at which the EC wants to run the Commission
leaves much to be desired.
“I have heard that
she has issued a directive for all directors whose retirement is due to apply
and proceed on their accumulative leave. Those who are about to retire are the
senior-most people in the system which the chairperson could have tapped into
their expertise before allowing them to go.”
“this is because we are in an election year and therefore if
we do that, we are throwing away the experience they have gained. This will not
help anyone, “he noted.
To Mr.Agyemang, the EC boss should hasten with caution since
her actions could be a recipe for chaos as witnessed in some countries.
