The Second Vice Chairman for Suame Constituency of New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Richard Asante, described such act of removing a “fat” white envelope from his right pocket for the electoral officers as a criminal act and a disgrace to democracy.

Speaking to the media, Mr Asante described it as a sign of injustice and unfairness for the EC to sack the two officials who were in receipt of the white envelope suspected to be money, without taking an action against the MP.

According to him, the commission has authority at all the polling centers in the Ejisu Constituency’s by election,therefore, has all legal right to cause the arrest of any person who violates the electoral rules including the MP.

Mr Asante ,also deemed it as a shameful act for the police officers at the polling station for their inability to arrest Dr Kingsley Nyarko after the act.

The NPP Vice Chairman asserted that the Kwadaso MP, would have vacated his seat by now after the media supported the claim with videos if it has occured in a developed country.

Mr Asante, therefore, called on Speaker of Parliament to institute a committee to probe into the matter since such act seeks to put the house into a public ridicule.
