She has therefore written to the presidency to furnish her with a copy of the petition.<\/p>\n<p>She has also written to the Judicial Service to provide her with reasons why she has been asked to appear before the committee even though she has not officially received a copy of the petition to be privy to the accusations levelled against her.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on this matter in an interview with  Accra FM on Tuesday December 12, Mr Amaliba said: \u201cThese are the worrying signals. How can you drag somebody to your committee without giving the person a copy of the document and everybody is keeping quiet?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026What has the woman done? She has declared election results in your favour and so what again do they want from her that they are using the process to harass her?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are the CDDs? Where are the Occupy Ghanas? If it were to be the NDC government all these people would be speaking by now. Where is Emile Short? Where is Professor Martey? This country will burn and we will see where all of us will be and so they should continue doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 2 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 12 December 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-12-12 Abraham Amaliba, Private legal practitioner Private Legal Practitioner and Member of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Amaliba, has said Ghana will not be peaceful if the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei, is removed from office.
