\u201cAll the six allegations levelled against Madam Charlotte Osei for which a prima facie case was established by the Honourable Chief Justice, relates to breaches to the Public Procurement Act, Act 663, as amended by the Public Procurement (Amendment) Act, Act 914\u201d the committee\u2019s report stated.<\/p>\n
According to the PPP, the full report must be made public, in accordance with the citizens right to information under Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution, so that the party can decide on its next course of action which it said would include \u201d reporting Mrs Charlotte Osei to the BNI for her immediate arrest also based on facts we have gathered in our dealings with the EC.\u201d<\/p>\n
The party in its statement, signed by National Chairman,\u00a0Nii Allotey Brew Hammond, said that the decision to remove the three officials was not surprising.<\/p>\n
The statement added that the dismissal of Charlotte Osei and her deputies had also given the \u201cindependence and autonomy of the EC a boost.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not surprised at all with the outcome of the investigation. The EC Commissioners themselves had prepared the nation for this end result because of their own public accusation of gross violations of our procurement laws and their articles of engagement. We believe that the independence and autonomy of the EC has been given a boost. This will engender a degree of public confidence and put to rest, the soiled image of the Commission, and the rot in which the EC Commissioners themselves told us they wallowed in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
