EC Boss Charlotte Osei has been asked to respond to 6 allegations out of the 27 allegations made against her by her two deputies Amadu Sulley (in charge of Operations), and Georgina Amankwa (in charge of Corporate Services) in January 2018.
According to reports, only six of the twenty-seven levelled against her were deemed valid, for which she would have to answer before the committee.
This was made known after she appeared before the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court on December 11, after the President forwarded a petition by Forson Ampofoh and Godsway Dzado, both drivers at the EC office for her impeachment in relation to alleged corruption and mismanagement.

The two deputies Amadu Sulley (in charge of Operations), and Georgina Amankwa (in charge of Corporate Services) are also to answer for their alleged roles in the disappearance of some GHS480,000 from the EC’s Endowment Fund, among other allegations.
Charlotte Osei who was present at the hearing with her lawyer explained that she has not been officially served with the petition. She has therefore written to the presidency to furnish her with a copy.
She added that she is yet to be provided with reasons from the Judicial Service why she has been asked to appear before the committee even though she has not officially received a copy of the petition to be privy to the accusations levelled against her.
As a result, the committee’s sitting has been adjourned to January 2018 for all parties to respond to the petitions filed against them.
