Former
New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi
Jumah has called for an outright dismissal of the Chairman for the
Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan.
Labeling him as
an “irresponsible public official”, Hon. Kofi Jumah stated that the
desirable punishment for Dr. AfariGyan is to see him fired by the
President.
According to him, it is even an understatement for any critic to call for his resignation.
Addressing
his concerns in a tape recording on Radio Gold, the NPP stalwart
asserted that Dr. Afari Gyan, since his 21-year administration of the
Electoral Office, has never held unquestionable elections but rather
exhibited gross incompetence in his duties.
“The position of
Electoral Commissioner is so vital to our democracy, which we shouldn’t
toy with. You should not only be neutral in any situation but you must
be seen as being neutral…The guy (Dr. AfariGyan) is an irresponsible
public official.”
Also, in his estimation, Ghana is not a democratic State due to the blunders committed by the Electoral Commissioner.
