DR AFARI GYAN MUST GO BEFORE REFORMS
There is no doubt that the negligence or incompetence of Dr
Afari Gyan nearly brought this great nation to her knees. Dr
Afari Gyan’s hardnosed approach led to such ill-based decisions,
and actions in bad faith. Even without the verdict of the court,
we saw how porous and shaken the electoral commissioner was,
upon cross examination. Dr. Afari Gyan must be ashamed of
himself for bringing our cherished electoral commission into
such great disrepute.
We have noted calls by all for electoral reforms including that
of a deputy minister of information. Why are we clouded by high
levels of sycophancy as a nation? Something is certainly wrong.
As described by Justice Dotse "So far as I am concerned, Dr.
Afari-Gyan has cut a very poor figure of himself, and the much
acclaimed competent election administrator both nationally and
internationally has evaporated into thin air once his portfolio
has come under the close scrutiny of the Courts"
AFAG finds the continuous stay of Dr. Afari Gyan in office as
unconscionable and an act against reason. We agree the electoral
commission must call for proposal for reforms. However, this
should not be superintended over by the person who consciously
admitted the mess. The calls for proposal in it are an admission
of the fact that, something went very wrong under the forever
knowing Dr. Afari Gyan. As a country we had to stand together
for peace but the time is now for us to abort the mess.
Certainly Dr.Afari Gyan’s exit is in itself an essential part of
the reforms.
Fellow Ghanaians, now that Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan has lost any
modicum of credibility, we must work hard as peace loving
Ghanaians to call for sanity at the electoral commission. For
how long will we call for peace when we continuously defy
justice? The call for Dr.Afari Gyan’s exit is necessitated by
AFAG’s pursuit for justice.
Dr.Afari Gyan must go now!!!!!!!
God bless Ghana.
