He believes this was unfair and criticized the president for doing so.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 on Thursday, September 19, he said, \u201cIn the first place, the person who exercised that power to appoint should be mindful of the requirement that the exercise of the power shall be fair and candid. You don\u2019t go and bring your allies to run a national institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir appointment, is it fair and candid if it is true that most of them are politically exposed is that a fair and candid way if doing it? Should they have even accepted that appointment? we are not serious and that is why we are suffering so much, people just enjoy the power without looking at the constraints hedging the power around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr William Atuguba also expressed the view that auditing the voter register as is being demanded by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will answer all the questions asked against the register. Citing Article 216 of the 1992 Constitution, Justice Atuguba (rtd) indicated that in a manner of fairness, the Electoral Commission will have to examine the register.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16838\" style=\"width: 719px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16838\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG-20240713-WA0059-e1726046298678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG-20240713-WA0059-e1726046298678.jpg 719w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG-20240713-WA0059-e1726046298678-250x201.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG-20240713-WA0059-e1726046298678-600x483.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>EC Boss, Jean Mensah<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He said, \u201cYou just don\u2019t look at people and tell them this is what I have done so take it like that, if it is not in line with the Constitution they have the right to insist that you comply because they have the right and duty to defend the Constitution and the law.\u201d Asked whether an audit based on what Ghanaians are confronted with now will be one of the corrective measures and satisfy all the questions provisions voters register, he answered \u201cAbsolutely\u201d and proceeded to justify his answer with article 296 of the Constitution. Article 266 says Where in this Constitution or in any other law discretionary power is vested in any person or authority \u2013<\/p>\n<p>(a) that discretionary power shall be deemed to imply a duty to be fair and candid;<\/p>\n<p>(b) the exercise of the discretionary power shall not be arbitrary, capricious or biased wither by resentment, prejudice or personal dislike and shall be in accordance with due process of law; and<\/p>\n<p>(c) where the person or authority is not a judge or other judicial officer, there shall be published by constitutional instrument or statutory instrument, regulations that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution or that other law to govern the exercise of the discretionary power.<\/p>\n<p>He was commenting on the Enough is Enough nationwide demonstration organised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday, September 17 to press home their demand for the audit of the voter register. \u201cOur demand is simple,\u201d National Chairman of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketia said. He added \u201cWe want the EC to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election and a credible register is central to that goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want nothing but transparent elections that will guarantee our right to choose our leaders. Without the right of self-determination, democracy is good as gone and every democracy at one point in time, comes under threat Ghana\u2019s democracy is under serious threat now and we want to prevail. We shall overcome because every democracy has the risk of producing a tyrant but our ability to fight that tyrant and restore democracy once again is paramount and we shall prevail.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: 3news.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retired Supreme Court Justice William Atuguba has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of appointing his allies to the Electoral Commission (EC).
