Ghana’s former president, John Agyekum Kuffour has counselled the Electoral Commission to win back the trust of Ghanaians ahead of this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections.

“Since we are a human society, the human factor seems to be unpredictable sometimes so the arbiter, who oversees the orderliness and fairness of the process which is the electoral commission should be truly committed to the people and serve its role in such a way that across the board we would feel it’s been truly impartial and transparent,” the former President told host of State of Affairs on GHONE TV Nana Aba Anamoah.

Ex-President John Agyekum Kuffour says he has no regrets for repealing the Criminal Libel Law during his term in office.

Mr Kuffour’s comment comes on the back of the recent attack on Judges by two radio panelists on Accra based Montie FM, threatening to kill the Supreme and High Court Judges if they dare pass any judgement against the Electoral Commission (EC).

In a very distasteful manner, one of the panelists sought to instill fear in the judges in the country by cautioning that he could identify each Judge’s house and will therefore not waste time to attack them if they don’t allow the EC to do its independent work.

“If this country is plunged into, all those who contributed to it – we will start from their houses. God has really opened the way for these Judges who would want to plunge this country into chaos – I know each and everyone’s house. I know where the

The Mpaboahene of Asantehene Otumfuor Osei Tutu II says the Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC) has not received any official apology from the embattled Mayor of Kumasi, Kojo Bonsu.

Nana Yaw Owusu said, though the Ashanti Regional Minister, John Alexander Ackon represented and apologized on behalf of Mr. Kojo Bonsu at Monday's meeting of the council, the failure of the KMA boss to honour the invitation of the KTC was a gross disrespect to Nananom and the Overlord of Asanteman, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II.
