Pressure group, the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) is calling for the dismissal of Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh as a member of the Council of State.
In a letter addressed to the Presidency by ASEPA, it stated that her position on the council ought to be terminated based on the investigative report by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
The report revealed that Madam Asomah-Hinneh used her influence to evade taxes.
Speaking to Citi FM the Executive Director for ASEPA, Mensah Thompson, said the President should follow the provisions in Article 89(6) of the constitution to terminate her appointment.
“We deem the allegations very seriously and for the fact that, the OSP has conducted investigations and has come out with a report leading to the refund of money, it means that the case has moved from mere allegations to a matter of substance. So based on this, we have petitioned the President requesting the termination of Madam Asomah-Hinneh as a member of the council of state on grounds of stated misbehaviour.”
Calls for the resignation of Council of State member, Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh, have intensified over the matter.
An anti-corruption crusader, Vitus Azeem, for example, said Mrs. Asoma-Hinneh should not be in office.
