rubbished the allegations<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in a comprehensive response to the employees, and fired some accusations at the Deputy Commissioner in-charge of Operations at the EC, Amadu Sulley.<\/p>\nProf. Gyampo noted that, such friction was not new to the EC administrations as under the leadership of the immediate past EC boss, Afari Gyan, problems emerged but he always found ways to fix them.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, he said that, \u201cin an attempt to expose some of the rot and some of the things that go on there, you are also expected to do so in a manner that wouldn\u2019t compromise the legitimacy and public confidence in that institution.\u201d<\/p>\nProf. Gyampo further expressed some disappointment in the response from Mrs. Osei, saying he thought her response lowered the public confidence in the EC, and \u201cmade the institution suffer some legitimacy deficit.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I thought she would have just come out to say they are malicious fabrications and then leave the rest to those who may be investigating. As it stands\u00a0now, it seems to me that if we don\u2019t take care, we may be compromising the credibility of our future elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
