Why is it that the ruling party defends and supports the EC – Prof. Gyampo asks

Professor Ransford Gyampo who is a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana has wondered why every ruling party in government seems to defend and support every policy by the Electoral Commission more than the electoral body itself.

He remarked “The problem I have with the electoral commission is that it has not been able to ring-fence itself to win itself from the praise singing and support from ruling parties. Why is it that every time the ruling party talks more or seem to understand the electoral process more than the electoral commission itself.”

Speaking on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM with Oman Nana monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Professor Gyampo questioned why over the years the Electoral Commission seems not to call the ruling party to order whenever they seem to be doing what they’ve not been mandated to do.

He added: “The activities of the electoral commission are well understood and better defended by the ruling party than the electoral commission itself. That shouldn’t be the case and if that should happen the electoral commission should point out to the ruling party that we understand the rules better than you so allow us to defend ourselves and allow us to defend our policies to the people.

Professor Ransford Gyampo claims that so far as the ruling political parties always seem to defend the Electoral Commission, it would always give cause for the opposition to suspect that the ruling party is running affairs at the electoral body.

He continued “The ruling party has no business defending the electoral commission because if the electoral commission sits aloof, the opposition party will have a cause to suspect that they are in bed with each other. So the opposition party will always be opposing every move by the electoral commission because the ruling party will always be defending and supporting every move by the EC.

He concluded “When issues come up at the electoral commission, the ruling party is able to justify and explain the issue better which if not curtailed will always make the opposition suspect that the ruling is running the affairs of the electoral commission.”

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
