The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Charlotte Osei has sued Matthew Opoku Agyemang, the lawyer for the unnamed aggrieved EC staff who have petitioned the President for her impeachment.
Matthew Opoku Agyemang filed the petition to the Presidency and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), on the 13th of July. The petition which found its way into the media had no names attached.
Reports, however, indicate the names of the petitioners have since been provided to the presidency.
The employees in the petition asserted Mrs Osei should be impeached for among others, bringing the “Commission’s name into disrepute by single highhandedly petitioning EOCO on an alleged misappropriation of staff endowment fund for malicious reasons.â€
But in a rebuttal, Mrs Osei threatened to sue the lawyer for defamation if he failed to disclose the names of his clients.
Matthew Opoku Agyemang called the bluff of the EC Chair, adding that he was ready to face Mrs Osei in court.
