The committee’s sitting on the case involving the Electoral Commissioner and her two deputies have adjourned their sitting to January 2018 for all parties to respond to the petitions filed against them.
The Committee sat yesterday at the supreme court where the Electoral Commissioner, Charllote Osei appeared before it with her Lawyer 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.
At the hearing, Mrs Osei, who was present with her lawyer explained that she has not been officially served with the petition and has therefore written to the presidency to furnish her with a copy of the petition.
The electoral commissioner has also written to the Judicial Service to provide her with reasons 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 leveled against her.
The presidency is scheduled to issue a communique to Mrs Osei in relation to the petition.
Meanwhile, her two deputies are to also answer for their alleged roles in the disappearance of some GHS480,000 from the EC’s Endowment Fund, among other allegations.
