Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

This Charlotte Osei should be told in plain language that she has lost her way. Six months to parliamentary and presidential elections and her priority is branding EC by introducing this useless new logo. This plagiarised logo has nothing Ghanaian in it. The old EC logo has the the state emblem or coat of arms in it.

Moreover, there is no unifying in the new logo and in fact, the old logo was more unifying as Ghanaians were connected to it by the national emblem of coat of arms.

I am not against change but this seems to be change for the sake of change and nothing else. How much is she spending on re-branding the EC instead of using the resources of the commission judiciously? This is complete waste of scarce resources.

Charlotte Osei should tell the Ghanaian tax payer, who commissioned the logo, how was it commissioned, who designed it and how much did it cost?

In the midst of plenty, the full is thirsty.

Kofi Ata just prove your allegation of a plagiarized logo. As I have pointed out in this forum, we are making a mountain out of an ant hill. We need to accept the EC's interpretation of the logo; and move on to more weightier & relevant issues like ensuring that we have violent free elections, fair & credible elections that would self as example to all of Africa.

As it is you Mr. Ata is fueling those who have been battling the EC since the departure of Dr. Atari Gyan. Your views in no way, shape or form should appear to aid & abette the opposition.

Those who lost the 2012 general elections are of the opinion that the current EC is manipulating this forthcoming elections to end up in the defeat of the NPP. Dr. Afari Gyan and Charlotte Osei are no different, in their misguided view.

KING LOMOTEY, I am acting on my own volition and not in support of any interest group but rather in the interest of Ghana. I still do not think that the new logo is necessary and even if it was, not this useless and plagiarised one. The new EC logo will fail in all areas of plagiarism as well copy right or intellectual property laws. The two are very similar to the extent that you can hardly tear them apart.

Have you read Mrs Charlotte Osei's response to plagiarism allegation? She used the word "mine". Does that mean she designed the logo or does the logo belong to her? Does she think that the EC belongs to her? She is just arrogant. This whole re-branding of the EC is about her and the logo is about her taking control over the EC. She should remember that she is only the Chair of the EC and must work with the other Commissioners as well as the management team. There is no word like "I" in a team.

The new logo colors are never representative of all political parts. Unless of course that explanation of the logo is only good at the time and between now and before a new political party or parties are form. For instance the breakaway group of NPP yet to form a new political party color is unknown. It might be different from all the colors in the logo right now. Are you going to get it fixed when it's known and different from the colors therein?

In exercising your freedom, you see all the hardwork JDM is doing in stabilizing the economy, unifying and upholding the peace and security of the country, fighting corruption practically and massively developing infrastructure in all sectors of the economy and across the entire country without discrimination to be destroying the future of Ghana. Many others see it differently as rather laying a solid foundation for the rapid expansion of the economy. On November 7, an overwhelming majority of Ghanaian voters will demonstrate this by renewing JDM 's mandate.

Any 'Arty-Farty Pillock' could claim to visualise all manner of interpretations from the design. It al depends on how they cared to look at it, and what sort of mood they were in at the time.

In reality it has no obvious common definitive meaning whatsoever, so stop trying to justify it being as such.

The EC is a national institution and does not belong to those who administer its affairs. Those who administer affairs do not have free reign to re-design and adopt logos that do away with the national coat of arms. It should be a national wish to do so; otherwise where lies the authority?

Being independent, refers to not yielding to corrupting pressure but that does not mean that the EC is free to ignore public views, wherever it comes from. All views should be considered and the only way to assert independence is to explain actions and to act transparently.

Is all that explanations better than the Coat of Arms(soul of the nation) of the Country!. Ghanaians don't need or want a new logo for the EC.It's only in Ghana these by force change of EC logo which do not contribute in any way to improve our Democratic dispensation, either than to create avenues to siphon Taxpayers Funds could be tolerated,in my personal opinion.Where is the much cherished national identity-the Coat of Arms of the nation- on every gov't Institution Letterhead!.Just b'cos there is a new Boss does not warrant the boss,the authority to change to a new meaningless(abstract) logo.What innovation does the new logo brings to the Electoral process, insensitive leadership and incompetent officials. It's absurd!.And Mahama and his Stooge members of the Council of State are in Support or mute on this unnecessary Change and Gross nonsensical.Mahami indeed!.
Incompetent Charlotte Osei,pls explain to the good people of Ghana, the reason why you think a new logo is needed.Nation Wreckers!.

Is the independence of the EC more important than the Independence of Ghana, which was attained by the Sweat and Blood of our Forefathers; represented by the Coat of Arms, which b'cos of personal interest on the part of recently appointed EC boss Charlotte Osei is determined to change,despite the hue and cry of the people.Ghana is not for you Charlotte Osei and Mahama.The Country is for all Ghanaians,and a Caretaker,is supposed to be Sensitive to the people. Therefore,it's an obligation for you to listen to the good people of Ghana in the circumstances.Do someone has to tell you that!.

“Why did we remove the Coat of Arms? Because we do not represent the authority of the state,”

She added: “we believe that, even from the research we did, the coat of arms does not speak to the legal and functional independence of the commission. We should not represent the authority of the state”.

she said: “we are more than the ballot box. Our mandate is beyond just the ballot box as we’ve explained”

Mrs Osei said “We like it; we picked it; it makes us happy. It reminds us of all the values that we want to bring into our work and where we are going as a Commission.”

There is a WE group that is behind this and Ghanaians need to be weary of this WE group because
1. the we group do not represent the authority of the state of Ghana (are they not under oath to serve in Ghana and the people of Ghana)
2. the we group are independent to such an extent that they are above the legal and functionality of the Coat of arms that represent the Nation of Ghana
3. whatever the we group wants that is what they are intending to do. (We like it; we picked it; it makes us happy.)
There is no such entity that exists anywhere in any nation all governing bodies are subject to the laws of a nation and the outcry of the people.

If the 'we group' thinks that they are independent they need their own country to go and rule maybe somewhere on the Sahara desert they can come together and call it the INDEPENDENT WE STATE OF SUB-SAHARA.

First of all there isn't the need for change of the EC's logo. However, if they so wish then it certainly shouldn't be this cheap and out of scope logo, unless of course it was done for free of charge. It simply doesn't represent anything election no matter the explanations given.

The logo and rebranding is a decoy by the NDC and EC to divert attention from some rigging tricks that they're putting in place.

No!, I don't think its your is your independence;its probably your new corruption!...its just so pitiful that people just take this country for 'kids movie'...we have countless adinkra symbols which have officially been compiled by a great Prof. like Ablade Glover...well established sectors like the Judicial Service, the Ghana Education Service, the Ghana Standards Board and even The Ghana Stock Exchange deduce their corporate identities these revered 'accepted Ghanaian symbols'...why can't you just even 'throw it out there' asking the NCCE to open a nationwide competition for school children so they can learn a lot on how the EC even function(this way you could even calm nerves instead of "stencil or cut-and-paste" outcome of this nuisance called logo...Ghanaian speak before all your money go down the drain!!!...

Hope NPP is listening. The EC is now independent. Its independence now means any further attacks on the EC will be tantamount to a violation of EC's sovereignty, leading to swift action by the United Nations against the attackers. That logo is the flag of an independent EC. No more attacks, Akufo-Addo. The EC has sent word to Akufo-Addo to withdraw his troops from the EC grounds. Hope he's listening.

This is EC explanation that does not hold water. What independene? Using state resources without duty of care. EC Please let the tax payer know the total cost involved in this logo change. Does it make economical sense to undertake this change at a time when Ghana is under going an austerity programe and dictated to run our finances as a Sovereign country by the IMF because of misuse of our resources. Common sense depicts that tax payers imput are used prudently. The EC and political associates should put the needs of Ghana first. Why justify some irresponsible independence just to waste money changing a logo when there are more important issues to deal with at the the EC and country at large. Now to contributors on Ghanaweb forum please undertake intelligent/civil discussions and stop the nasty insults.
