MP for Suame and Minority Leader in Parliament, Mr. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu has levelled the president’s sudden appointments of the new Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and the boss for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) as nothing but sheer ‘’crass irresponsibility’’.
Speaking with Kwame Tutu on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said:
“So President Mahama cannot deliberately create problems for the nation and the incoming administration,” adding you cannot saddle the incoming administration because, under the transition act, you can’t do that.
The law recognises that you are still the president but between November 7 and January 6, you should copy the incoming administration with your projections; you have failed to do that; and you are still appointing people.
The law says explicitly that, you can’t do that…If you want to do something, you clear it with the transition team but you’ve not done that.’’
The incoming administration he said will review the appointments ‘’because we reserve the right to that under the transition.’’
