    It will be in the Interest of the NPP and NDC If the EC is Subjected to Parliamentary Approval- Otokunor

    The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor says it’ll be in the interest of both the NPP and NDC if the Chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC) is subjected to Parliamentary approval.

    Speaking on Joy FM he said both parties have bemoaned the appointment EC Chairpersons by a ruling party.

    “We [NDC] are saying, let’s tighten the knot so that we will not have the case wherein future, we will have another President who will be abusive, authoritarian like President Akufo-Addo. So that, that person will not come and take advantage of the process,” Peter Otokunor said.

    “If you look at the recommendations that we are making, they are just oversimplifying the fact that NDC has appointed 2 ECs so they have appointed one so it’s 2:1 which certainly goes beyond who appointed ECs and the number of ECs that we have appointed,” he added.

  • BNI picks up Otokunor’s driver over recent market fires

    BNI picks up Otokunor’s driver over recent market fires

    The driver of the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor, has been picked up by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), formerly known as Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), 3news has gathered.


    The arrest is in connection with recent market fires recorded across the country.

    It is unclear what prompted the action from the NIB officials but many believe the recent spate of market fires may be deliberately masterminded by elements within the opposition party, which has since the December 9 declaration demonstrated against the results of the elections.

    Major markets in Koforidua, Kantamanto, Asankragwa and, lately, Kaneshie, have been torched in one way or the other.

    At Kaneshie, it took the intervention of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) on Saturday night to stop the fire from spreading to other shops.

    Only nine shops were affected, 3news.com gathered, as the “robust” fire system complemented efforts by the fire officers.

    A couple of days earlier in Kantamanto, traders reeled as the central market was completely razed down.

    A provision has been made, at the instance of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to get the traders back in business.
