Ghana will burn if Charlotte Osei is removed - Amaliba

A Private Legal Practitioner Abraham Amaliba, asked that “Where are the CDDs? Where are the Occupy Ghanas? If it were to be the NDC government all these people would be speaking by now...this country will burn and we will see where all of us will be and so they should continue doing it.”

Speaking on Accra FM, Amaliba said he is shocked that some public figures who would have criticised the NDC if they did the same thing are quiet.

“These are the worrying signals. How can you drag somebody to your committee without giving the person a copy of the document and everybody is keeping quiet?”

“What has the woman done? She has declared election results in your favour and so what again do they want from her that they are using the process to harass her?”

“Where are the CDDs? Where are the Occupy Ghanas? If it were to be the NDC government all these people would be speaking by now. Where is Emile Short? Where is Professor Martey? This country will burn and we will see where all of us will be and so they should continue doing it.”

In his estimation, the current government is harassing the EC Chairperson.

Background
