Ken Agyapong must apologise for ‘insulting’ EC Chair - Oye Lithur
The Minister of Gender and Social Protection, Oye
Lithur has called on the Member of Parliament for
Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong to apologise for
what she describes as insulting comments against
the Chairperson of Electoral Commission, Charlotte
Osei.

The NPP MP launched a scathing attack on
Charlotte Osei, alleging that she was appointed
after having sex with some bigwigs in government.

Oye Lithur in a quick rebuttal described Mr.
Ayapong’s comments as regrettable, adding that
“women of Ghana will not countenance such
comments and personal attacks on women who have
committed to serve Ghana in public office.”

“You are in Public Office and should promote
non-discrimination, respect for human dignity and
gender equality by your comments and conduct,”
Oye Lithur added.

A private legal practitioner, Ace Anan Ankomah
has also condemned the MP’s comments and called
on Ghanaians to speak against the development.

“I call on all well-meaning Ghanaians to speak
up and out against this and any other denigration
of women. The African woman works against
considerable odds to attain heights that men take
for granted.

It is not allowed for her to be denigrated in
this manner, simply because a person disagrees
with her. I call on political parties whose
members make such comments to have the guts, spine
and cojones to condemn such statements too.”
