EC chairperson Charlotte Osei, is under serious threat as a petition has been filed against her by staff of the Electoral Commission, calling for a full-scale probe into various allegations, including willfully causing financial loss to the state and abuse of office.
The concerned staff of the Commission claim her decision to cancel a contract awarded to Superlock Technologies Limited (STL) — a company contracted to supply and manage Biometric Voter Registration machines (BVRs) and the Biometric Voter Devices (BVDs), as well as her directive for the payment of $76,000 to IT firm, Dream Oval, were fraudulent.
“The Commission signed a contract with Super Tech (STL) Limited on the premise of that Voter Registration Exercise was going to be electoral area based. Upon assumption of office as Chairperson of the Commission, Mrs. Charlotte Osei unilaterally abrogated the said contract without recourse to the same Commission that approved the earlier version.
