The Minority in a statement indicated that, Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s apology will not suffice since he initially “treated with contempt our [Ghanaians] demand of him to retract and apologize for his unconscionable, bigoted and unconstitutional remarks.”

[contextly_sidebar id=”m8FgB1aWh2aTD8LlFxYN1eLpggCOrBTd”]Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s apology came almost three days after his initial comments incurred the wrath of Ghanaians.

He also defended his comments saying there was nothing wrong in putting his party and its members first.

Some key officials of the NPP, particularly acting Chairman Freddie Blay, had suggested that Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s comments may have been taken out of context.

Describing the comments as reluctant and insincere, the Minority also enumerated other reasons to press home their demands for Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s resignation.

These reasons are listed below:

• That H.E Ayisi Boateng even in the face of overwhelming condemnation and revulsion from many decent minded Ghanaians still chose to adopt a more belligerent, reckless and divisive posture as demonstrated by his reported retort in which he dared the Minority to go to the Supreme Court if we so please.
• That H.E Ayisi Boateng rather than express remorse for flagrantly violating Articles 17 and 35 (3) of the Constitution of Ghana, and the requirements of the Oath of Office he swore, unfortunately chose to embark on a pathetic attempt to equalize with non-existing parallels including a wicked effort to denigrate the good name of former president John Evans Atta Mills of blessed memory, mobilizing misguided NPP youth groups, and some ill-advised party leaders to defend his shameful utterances.
• That we have confirmed that the said public apology would not have been rendered by the disgraced envoy if he had not been forced by his superiors at the Flagstaff House and the Foreign Ministry coming 72 hours after intense public pressure on Government to act.
• That Ghanaians living in South Africa have expressed their displeasure and sense of insecurity under this embattled High Commissioner demanding that he is not retained.
• That the conduct of H.E. Ayisi Boateng over the last 96 hours have shown him to be unfit and lacking the temperament of a diplomat to occupy the high office of High Commissioner.

It unclear where Ms Quist, who has been at the helm of affairs since 2014, will be heading to.

There were earlier reports that Tigo’s current MD, Ms. Roshi Motman, is likely to be named as the MD of the new entity to be created following the merger of Airtel and Tigo.

[contextly_sidebar id=”MsfJPYOWcbwN4GIlCKNIEuahP10SgCRK”]The National Communications Authority (NCA),  early last week announced it had given approval for the merger between Airtel and Tigo to proceed with the merger subject to some conditions.

A statement from the NCA and copied to Citi Business News indicated that, the merger will result in an entity which will be the second largest mobile network operator in the country.

The merger, which was first announced in March this year, required the regulator to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the application and the regulatory ecosystem.

The latest development brings to an end months of speculation about her role as CEO of Airtel Ghana, once the planned merger between the company and Tigo Ghana are concluded.

A short note to her followers on her Facebook page @lucyquistofficial, and her website www.lucyquist.com confirmed her planned exit.

Portions of her note read “ After almost three and a half year of leading the amazing team at Airtel Ghana, the time is right for me to move on to the next chapter. It has been a truly remarkable journey and I thank each and everyone of you for your support, encouragement and business partnership over the course of my stewardship. We are proud of our achievements. Particularly, I want to thank all those who have been part of the many initiatives I have led over the last few years to empower young people and every young person who works with me for that matter. Notably the Evolve with STEM and the Bold New Normal initiatives. I look forward to empowering more young people even as I continue my professional journey. Together we will create the Bold New Normal of prosperity for our country and continent”.

Lucy Quist’s period at Airtel Ghana

Lucy Quist joined Airtel Ghana in 2014 as the first Ghanaian female CEO of a major multinational telecom company.

During her tenure, she successfully led her team to re-position and transform Airtel Ghana into one of the fastest growing telecom companies in the country, as well as the industry leader in data and digital innovation, and the most loved telecom brand in the daily lives of Ghanaians.

She is credited with leading the launch of breakthrough initiatives for Airtel Ghana, including the introduction of bespoke sub brands and value propositions for customers – such as  Airtel Premier, the telecom industry’s first ever sub brand that provides telecom and lifestyle solutions for High Value customers.

She also led the creation of Airtel’s Data Business – building a specific sub brand to grow the data side of the business – resulting in a significant growth in customer and revenue market share for data.

Airtel’s Data Business became the conduit for digital inclusion, and some of the most remarkable innovations in the data and internet service provider space within the Ghanaian telecom industry.

Personal achievements

Mrs. Quist has been recognized by several reputable organisations– Corporate Leadership Award (Ghana Legacy Honours 2017), Telecom CEO of the Year (Ghana ICT and Telecoms Award 2016), CSR CEO of the year (Ghana CSR Excellence Awards 2016) and CIMG Marketing Woman of the year (2014).

She is on the Board of many distinguished local and international organisations including the International Board for African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Petra Trust Company Ltd, the Business Environment Enabling Programme under the UK Department of International Development (DFID), the Climate Innovation Center Ghana and The Exploratory among others.

She is a founding member of the Executive Women Network, a non-profit organization of women in senior management and executive positions committed to inspiring, empowering and supporting women executives to succeed and become influential both locally and internationally.

The reports suggest deepening ties between President Zuma and the controversial Gupta business family.

But the president’s spokesman has dismissed them as an utter fabrication.

Pressure on Mr Zuma has been mounting in recent months because of corruption scandals, cabinet sackings and his handling of the economy.

Senior members of Mr Zuma’s governing ANC this weekend tabled a motion of no confidence against him – which has been put to a closed-door meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee.

It is the second time in six months that party rebels have mounted such a challenge.

Under pressure

The BBC’s Karen Allen in Johannesburg says the ANC now looks like it’s in permanent fire fighting mode

Emails between President Zuma’s son Duduzane and figures from a company owned by the controversial Gupta family – who reportedly wield considerable influence over Mr Zuma – include a letter to the Abu Dabi royal family, our correspondent says.

“I am happy to inform you that my family has decided to make the UAE a second home,” the president is quoted as saying. “It will be a great honour for me and my family to gain your patronage during our proposed residency in the UAE.”

This opens up questions as to whether this is part of an exit strategy, with Mr Zuma’s party appearing to be turning against him, our correspondent adds.

The reports were quickly dismissed by the presidential spokesman as “utter fabrication and mischief-making”.

Meanwhile, it is thought that Zuma loyalists could well block any no confidence motion on technical grounds.

However, it echoes a similar motion from opposition parties being pushed through parliament which is now being examined by the constitutional court.

The president’s successor is expected to be selected at a major conference of the ANC’s top brass in December.

Until then the party looks set to limp from crisis to crisis, our correspondent says.

Mr Zuma’s allies say he will remain in office until his term ends in 2019, but evidence of his unpopularity seems to be growing. He was forced to abandon a May Day rally this year after he was booed by workers demanding his resignation.

His ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Deputy President Cyril Rampahosa are vying to succeed him.

It is not clear what necessitated his departure and where he is headed next, but he has told close associates that he wants to “pursue other career opportunities.”

The NHIA was a major subject of discussion during the just ended election, with the two major political parties at variance on the status of what has become Ghana’s biggest social protection programme, the NHIS.

[contextly_sidebar id=”qLVHTKnJsaqwe1ercjjcverMA2l8rtAA”]Despite these differences, the NHIS serves many Ghanaians and its effectiveness is of interest to many.

Insiders say he broke the news of his departure to his management staff last Monday, after their bi-monthly meeting.

The Scheme’s achievements under Mr. Otoo

Mr. Otoo leaves behind a Scheme with a membership of over 11 million members and a utilization of 31 million.

Mr. Otoo, a lawyer by training, joined the NHIA in 2006 from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) as the first Director of Administration and General Counsel of the Authority, and helped establish many of the units and departments of the fledgling health insurance scheme.

He was instrumental in the revision of the NHIS law, Act 650 to Act 852, and has been involved in a wide range of the institution’s decision-making.
In 2013, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief Executive of the NHIA in charge of Operations, where he supervised five key directorates including Management Information Systems, Quality Assurance, Research and Development, Private Health Insurance, and Provider Payments.

In 2015, he was appointed to act as Chief Executive upon the exit of Mr. Sylvester Mensah. He was later confirmed by the Public Services Commission as substantive Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA.

Employees of the Authority generally describe him as a calm-headed and analytical person, who upon assuming leadership of the Authority purposed to make the NHIA a knowledge-based organization and a leader in technological innovations to solve problems in the public sector.

In this regard, he oversaw the introduction of the NAVIS member authentication application, a software developed in-house and sold to local banks to assist in their verification of customers who present the NHIS card as a form of identification.

The NHIA makes close to a million Cedis annually from this innovation. Under his tenure, the NHIA began the paperless registration of members which saves the Scheme about 6 million Cedis annually just by cutting out the use of paper in the NHIS enrolment process.

Mr. Otoo also oversaw the development of the electronic premium banking and e-receipting at NHIA district offices, where premiums are electronically receipted and collected by banks as a measure to block loopholes. This system has been reviewed by the Controller and Accountant General and found efficient.
In November 2016, a flagship program to enable NHIS card holders register or renew their membership by choice for two to four years was introduced. The system known as the ‘Multi-year Renewal’ is being expanded to other areas of the country. This is hoped to bring convenience to members and also assist the NHIA make some savings.

Other initiatives under Mr. Otoo’s tenure

As a champion of Universal Health Coverage, Mr. Otoo will be remembered as the one under whom the NHIA partnered with the Africa Health Market for Equity program and the Social Protection Ministry to devise an electronic identification system to assess eligibility of the poor and vulnerable for enrolment onto the NHIS. Hitherto, the identification of the poor and vulnerable onto the scheme was arbitrary.

As a way of exacting performance from his staff, he introduced a performance tracking model named the ‘Point Assessment System’ which rated the output of the district and regional offices on key deliverables in an objective mode and rewarded best performers.

In December 2016, Mr. Otoo launched one of his pet projects for the NHIS, the claim-it application. This is an application for use by health providers to generate and submit claims to the NHIA. It implements and enforces all the necessary claims generation rules and protocols of the NHIS. Hence, all claims submitted for reimbursement are validated by the application. The app ensures due diligence prior to claims submission.

NHIS’ funding challenges

Mr. Otoo worked assiduously to reduce the funding gap of the NHIS with significant success, registering a reversal of the deficit in 2015.
Until his resignation, he was overseeing the development of Mobile Claims Check Code technical requirements and the introduction of a unique provider identification system.

Mr. Otoo is quite prominent and respected in the health insurance and UHC fraternity around the world, and though he is holding his next moves close to his chest, sources at the NHIA say he has pledged not to withhold his knowledge and experience from the Authority should he be required at any time to do so.

Under his tenure as Chief Executive, the NHIA was reviewed for the first time by a committee set up by the then president.

Mr. Otoo was a member of the committee chaired by eminent health economist, Dr Chris Atim. The committee’s report was submitted to the Presidency late last year.

Mr. Otoo leaves a scheme which still has significant challenges, and it is hoped that the new path proposed to be chartered by the new Government will attempt to resolve these.

[contextly_sidebar id=”aoEdmj61YUnh0FW5kL3bSI4uPZOu5j2s”]According to Martin Amidu, the EC Chair had failed in her mandate to adequately educate the aspirants on the process of filling their nomination forms and should be held accountable for the errors which led to the disqualification on 13 of the 17 aspirants.

In a statement, Martin Amidu said: “Instead of rushing to disqualify them [the aspirants] contrary to the due process of law (particularly the right to alter or amend as provided by law and natural justice) and gloating on her competence in the unlawful application of C.I. 94 she should have resigned for failing in her functions to educate the aspirants for the complex nomination electoral process and its purpose.”

“It is demonstrable failure and an indictment on the competence of the Commissioner that only 4 of her class of 17 political parties and independent aspiring presidential candidates were able to understand and complete the nomination forms without error and to submit them at her own appointed time of 29th and 30th September 2016,” Amidu’s statement added.

‘No legal authority’ to disqualify 13 aspirants

The 13 candidates, including Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People’s Party, Edward Mahama of the People’s National Convention and Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings of the National Democratic Party (NDP) were disqualified after the EC noted various errors in the nomination forms they filed.

However, Dr. Nduom’s chances of appearing on the ballot were raised on Friday after an Accra High Court ordered the EC to allow him to amend the errors on his forms and resubmit them for consideration by the EC.

The NDP and PNC also have separate cases in court against the EC seeking the reinstatement of their candidates in the race.

According to Amidu, the ruling did not come as a surprise to him explaining that the EC had failed to properly apply the provisions of C.I 94, resulting in the ‘illegal’ disqualification of the 13 aspirants.

He stated that despite the reasons given by the EC for the disqualification appearing to be legitimate, closer analysis revealed that the Commission, by failing to grant the aspirants a chance to correct the errors, had no ‘legal authority’ to nullify the aspirants’ nominations.

His strongly worded statement said: “A casual reading of the reasons provided by the Commissioner in that document leaves an ordinary reasonable person with the conclusion that the decision to disqualify each of the presidential candidates was premised upon an alleged non-compliance with regulation 7 of the Public Elections Regulation, 2016 (C.I. 94). One walks away with the cogent and credible impression that the Commissioner purportedly acted in pursuance of an alleged power of disqualification vested in her under regulation 9(2) and (3) of C.I. 94.

“But even a fleeting perusal of regulation 9 of C.I. 94 should have left any lazy reader with a firm conviction that the Commissioner had no legal authority to invalidate the nomination of an aspiring candidate for president without first giving the candidate the opportunity to alter or amend his or her improperly completed nomination forms. Unfortunately, the common sense objections of the various aspiring candidates to their disqualification in violation of regulation 9(2) of C.I. 94 were met with insolent language bordering on insults and impunity demonstrating the perceived omnipotence and infallibility of the Commissioner in making her decisions.”

The full statement from Martin Amidu is below

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSIONER’S ABUSE OF POWER IN DISQUALIFYING 13 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES – BY MARTIN A. B. K. AMIDU

The decision of Mr. Justice Eric Kyei Baffour of the Commercial Division of the High Court, Accra, in the case of the Republic v Charlotte Osei and the Electoral Commission, Ex Parte Nduom, 28^th October 2016, will forever remain a testimony to the resilience of Ghanaian jurisprudence to curb impunity, arbitrariness, abuse of power and abject arrogance on the part of public officials under the 1992 Constitution. It rightly quashed the arbitrary and unlawful decision of the Commissioner made on the 10^th of October 2016 invalidating the nomination of the applicant as a candidate for the coming Presidential Election for alleged non-compliance with regulations 7 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2016 (CI 94) and ordered the Commissioner to comply with the Regulations.

After granting the order of certiorari the Court resolved the issue in controversy as follows:

“I will proceed after quashing the decision of the Respondents disqualifying the Applicant as a candidate and order that the Respondents afford opportunity to the Applicant to make the necessary alteration or amendment to its nomination paper for it to receive same and then proceed to determine whether the Applicant had met all the criteria laid down by the laws of the Republic, in line with its duty laid down in C.I 94. The EC has no basis to complain that nomination period has closed when they did not set one. They only set nomination day under regulation 7 but not nomination period under regulation 92(2) as I have already found. The time frame to afford the Applicant is entirely within the discretion of the Respondents being mindful of the limited time available for the elections on December 7, 2016.”

A photocopy of the entire ruling made available to me can be found on my website, martinamidu.com.

Ghanaians may recall that for the first time in annals of the history of the 1992 Constitution, the Electoral Commission of Ghana announced on 10^th October 2016 that it had disqualified 13 out of 17 candidates aspiring to contest to be elected to the high office of President from taking part in the 2016 Presidential Elections. The reasons ascribed in the Commissioner’s own words for the alleged disqualification can be found in a document entitled: “Receipt of Nominations for 2016 Presidential Elections – Key criteria for the presidential candidates” published on citifmonline General News of Monday 10 October 2016. Citi FM headed its publication as “Why Nduom and 12 presidential aspirants were disqualified.”

A casual reading of the reasons provided by the Commissioner in that document leaves an ordinary reasonable person with  the conclusion that the decision to disqualify each of the presidential candidates was premised upon an alleged non-compliance with regulation 7 of the Public Elections Regulation, 2016 (C.I. 94). One walks away with the cogent and credible impression that the Commissioner purportedly acted in pursuance of an alleged power of disqualification vested in her under regulation 9(2) and (3) of C.I. 94. But even a fleeting perusal of regulation 9 of C.I. 94 should have left any lazy reader with a firm conviction that the Commissioner had no legal authority to invalidate the nomination of an aspiring candidate for president without first giving the candidate the opportunity to alter or amend his or her improperly completed nomination forms. Unfortunately, the common sense objections of the various aspiring candidates to their disqualification in violation of regulation 9(2) of C.I. 94 were met with insolent language bordering on insults and impunity demonstrating the perceived omnipotence and infallibility of the Commissioner in making her decisions.

Truth be told, I have never in my long years of experience in the public service witnessed the degree of arrogance and impunity exhibited towards the respectable citizen aspiring presidential candidates who sought to reason with the Commissioner to simply comply with the duties imposed upon her by the Constitution and the laws governing the process. Without waiting for the aspiring candidates to exhaust their constitutional rights to challenge her arbitrary decisions and determinations, she arrogantly proceeded to refer the aspiring candidates to the police for investigation for the commission of various offences alleged by her in her statement of reasons for disqualifying them. This was clearly a scheme she designed to intimidate the aspiring candidates and frighten them with the police powers of the Executive from vindicating their rights before the Courts. It should be everybody’s guess how she managed to recruit the Ghana Police Service which is currently under the control and direction of the partisan NDC Government to foster her agenda of harassing and intimidating these innocent citizens into accepting her unlawful decisions disqualifying them.

As a matter of fact, her arbitrary and unlawful disqualification of 13 aspiring presidential candidates and her arrogant attitude towards those distinguished citizens and their political parties or supporters does not conduce to her image as an impartial arbiter of elections. And the decision in Ex Parte Papa Kwesi Nduom exposes her high handiness, incompetence, and inexperience as a public officer. It also does no credit to whatever agenda the appointing authority which is also contesting this presidential election had in mind in patronizing her to the important and critical office of impartiality as Electoral Commissioner under the Constitution.

It is amazing that the Commissioner failed or refused to realize that her impunity in not complying with the Constitution and the law in disqualifying the aspiring candidates disclosed more about her failure as the head of the Electoral Commission than the ignorance or lack of attention on the part of the aspirants in filling the complex nomination forms designed by her office for the Presidential Elections. It is demonstrable failure and an indictment on the competence of the Commissioner that only 4 of her class of 17 political parties and independent aspiring presidential candidates were able to understand and complete the nomination forms without error and to submit them at her own appointed time of 29^th and 30^th September 2016. Instead of rushing to disqualify them contrary to the due process of law (particularly the right to alter or amend as provided by law and natural justice) and gloating on her competence in the unlawful application of C.I. 94 she should have resigned for failing in her functions to educate the aspirants for the complex nomination electoral process and its purpose.

The conduct of the Commissioner in unlawfully disqualifying 13 aspiring presidential candidates appears to confirm the perception that she came to her job with the unconstitutional agenda of compelling the electorate to make a choice between the two major political parties (the NDC and the NPP who normally contest all Parliamentary seats as well) at this year’s Presidential Elections to demonstrate her perceived ability to organize a free and fair election without petitions. Such an agenda is subversive of Article 3 and Chapter 7 of the Constitution dealing with the representation of the people. In Africa such an arrangement provides and facilitates the ability of incumbent Governments to use the Executive Power and resources of the state in rigging the elections. The non-incumbent major opposition party should watch carefully the trap being set for it. I hold the view that in Ghana’s present circumstances the plurality of political parties fielding candidates at the presidential elections is the only guarantee to effectively policing the process by the presence, and alertness of their supporters, polling assistants and others at the polling stations on the day of elections.

An examination and analysis of the ruling of the Court in Ex Parte Papa Kwesi Nduom and the reasons given by the Commissioner on 10^th October 2016 for disqualifying each of the 13 aspiring presidential candidates as published in detail on Citi FM manifestly shows that they are each underscored by a common reason for each disqualification. The Commissioner disqualified each and every one of them in violation of their right to be afforded the opportunity to make the necessary alteration or amendment to their nomination forms before the Commissioner took the decision to disqualify them under C.I. 94. Prudence and common sense therefore requires the Commissioner on the strength of the decision of Ex Parte Papa Kwesi Nduom to see her way clearly to give each of the aspiring presidential candidates the opportunity to alter or amend his nomination forms in accordance with regulation 9(2) of C.I. 94 to enable the processes to the election to proceed without any further delay instead of waiting for each aspiring candidate to secure a separate ruling from the Court.

The battle to get as many of the disqualified aspiring candidates onto the ballot is far from ended. The aspiring candidates should be advised to have the means of altering or amending their nomination forms ready and by their side to effect the alterations, amendments and corrections at the shortest notice by the Commissioner. The Commissioner has one more chance to make a determination of the validity of each of the nominations again and the aspiring candidates must not be caught with their pants down when she calls upon them to amend their nomination forms in accordance with the Regulations. Whosoever wins the 2016 Presidential Elections must do so transparently and fairly. We must put Ghana First by equalizing the disadvantages of the political parties in opposition to ensure that they have a fair and even chance against any abuse of incumbency by this Government which is definitely very desperate to remain in power after eight years. Let us watch every step of this Electoral Commissioner in this election year!
