President Akufo-Addo Throws Out ASEPA’s Petition For Jean Mensa’s Removal
President Akufo-Addo has thrown out the petition by the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) calling for the dismissal of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa from office.
ASEPA in June 2020, secured an impeachment declaration from the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) that Madam Mensa since assuming office had failed to file her asset declaration forms in accordance with the law and must be removed as the Returning Officer of presidential elections in Ghana.
A statement from the Office of the President rejected ASEPA’s claims and cleared the EC Boss off any criminal act.
