Chairman and Flagbearer of the opposition Independent People's Party, Kofi Akpaloo is alleging that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Charlotte Osei is colluding with the Commission's lawyer, Thaddeus Sory to fleece the state.

According to him, the only motivation the Chairperson of the EC has in embarking on a series of court battles with candidates in the run up to the December 7 elections is the financial benefits that may have been agreed upon between her and Mr. Sory.

Speaking to Kwame Gyan on e.TV Ghana's news and current affairs programme, State of the Nation, a visibly unhappy Mr. Akpaloo said, "from where I am sitting as an accountant, I am suspecting that they are using this to milk the state; you know it goes to court with legal fees. Their lawyer will be paid for his services. We live in a country where people can do anything. Because she is sitting somewhere suspecting that we can forge signatures. So I am also suspecting that she is also conniving with the lawyer”.

When quizzed by programme host Kwame Gyan on whether he had evidence in suggestion that the two were colluding to defraud the state, the IPP leader retorted that "…but she also impugned criminal motives; if she thinks that we can forge then she herself she is a criminal so she too can do something of that sort".

Mr. Akpaloo who was among the 12 aspirants disqualified from contesting the December 7 polls by the EC on the specific grounds that “the number of subscribers to Mr. Akpaloo’s forms did not meet the requirements of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94. The details are as follows: three subscribers supported the nomination of another candidate in breach of Regulation 7 (4) of CI 94.

Again, the cross subscribers have different signatures on the nomination forms raising questions as to the legitimacy of these signatures. We will refer the matter of the possible forgeries of these signatures to the Ghana Police Service and the Attorney General for investigation and prosecution in line with the following sections of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29): Section 211: Perjury Section 248: making false declaration etc. for office or voting; Section 251: Deceiving a public officer, Section 256: Corruption, Intimidation and personation in respect of election”.

Mr. has not taken the disqualification lightly. In a series of media outbursts he has accused the EC of deliberately trying to sabotage him among other accusations. He insist that the grounds for his disqualification are frivolous particularly when one considers them in reference to CI94.

“Even a lawyer who has just graduated from school can win the case against the EC with regards to CI94 9(2) and so the lawyers should know better; she herself she is a lawyer she is a lawyer so she should know she will lose”.

Comment to: NPP’s Manhyia North poll was ‘bribery and curses

He said "the NPP had lost its identity and had now become the preserve of the rich, who were actively buying votes to win internal elections.

For that reason, he wondered if the NPP had the moral right to accuse Mr John Mahama of using state resources to pay bribes and buy votes, when the outcome of its own polls was questionable".
Some of us have always known that the NPP strategy of labeling the President as corrupt was a strategy to hide their own massive corruption in their party. if there was ever a doubt, Chairman Wuntomi's aide has erased all that. Now we know NPP better.

This is a palpable lie. The Ashanti regional imam who happpened to be a resident of Suame was given a car by Hon. Muntaka even though everybody in Suame knows him to be an NPP guy.
Did NPP give him a car during their 8 year rule?
To the minority leader, his MPship in Suame has been a total disaster. Senior minister for what? ceremonial minister? Shame unto you.

If an Imam does not know that he is object of ridicule in NPP then he deserves to be mocked by Akyems/Ashantis. The worst is the Akyems who just hate Muslims.

Eh do not bring our imams into politics.
They are apolitical.
We may have our doctrinal differences but they are not political issues.

Since when has this Asante/Akyem tribal group have the least respect for muslims in this country? Sometimes, I wonder if they smoke wee before they open their mouths. Are we all not in this country and heard and saw how they treated the late Aliu and muslims in general? Ghana has a problem.If not how can a thief like this face bleaching idiot be in parliament and be the leader of the main opposition, there,whose members are all thieves as well? Playing religious card will not work. Kufour did not do all these buulshit before we gave him our votes. You dumped Aliu Mahama because he is a muslim, and because he is a northerner. When you get up, you want to pretend to love muslims more than prophet Mohammed himself. This is total rubbish

How can you speak for a group of people when they are alive and very well? These people can speak for themselves but never been heard make a comment in this regard. As an NPP leader and senior MP, does it mean you lack ideas to sell to the public? This is simply CHEAP POLITICS!

Is a consummate charlatan; and this statement from his own mouth, confirms my belief! This is the same individual, who relocated a project earmarked for his own village to a different location, for political expediency!
It is also a fact that this Kyei Mensah Bonsu, was in league with certain members of the KMA,[Kofi Senya's cabal] to derail the work of the Assembly and the Kejetia re-development project!
This 'political chameleon' will not think twice before selling the interests of Asanteman for his own personal gain. This fellow, who hitherto, went by an unassuming name, Lawrence Addai, now runs around with this rather imposing nomenclature reserved for people with bona fide royal lineage. What a dubious character this guy is; MP for life, and now an aspiring 'senior Minister', a 'caucista' of sorts, who will dole out 'goodies' and patronage to his cronies! He has done it before, and will d again!

How can you prove that those who had the vehicles are NDC imams??? At least you have confirmed that there are Imams who are politically oriented and they are NPP. Thanks for that information.
