A former Deputy Minister of Tourism, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has appealed to President Nana Akufo-Addo to protect the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Charlotte Osei, and Constance Ama Emefa Edjeani-Afenu, the first female to attain the rank of Brigadier General in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
The EC boss is facing impeachment as a group of staff at the commission has petitioned the president for her removal over fraud and financial malfeasance allegations.
Apart from the petition against Mrs Osei, the former minister said she has also sighted an article about Brigadier-General Edjeani-Afenu which does not augur well for her status as a woman rising in the Ghana Armed Forces.
“Please protect these women as you would your sisters. I have read a petition and an article by a soldier online and I am really upset and horrified,” she said in a Facebook post on Thursday, July 20.
She was of the view that “the journey to 30% Affirmative Action for women is a long one” and those in positions of higher authority need support.

Dear H. E. President Nana Akufo-Addo,
Please protect these women as you would your sisters. I have read a petition and an article by a soldier online and I am really upset and horrified.
Please leave them alone.
These women are intelligent and have earned the positions they occupy.
The journey to 30% Affirmative Action for women is a long one. ...
This is a personal request/favour I am making to you.
Thank you, Sir.

NANA. Beware of 'playihg to gallery'. Soon that will lead to your unmaking. Because it will remove the very foundation to your leadership. Remember : If the 'battle is the LORD'S', then righteousness is the sceptre of HIS government. Not compromise nor cover up.
The anti-woman cause is by the women who corrupt themselves and public services not those who stop them from following the corruption of men
Protect ur modda!!!
I command Botttoooom Power to resign (and live with her incompetent boyfriend, deaddd goaaat) before she booted out!!!
djifa gomashie, i used to respect you, i don't know why?
senanu, ha ha haaa. You have made my day with your comment
Protect her from what. The truth shall always stand. If she is innocent, she will stand and we shall all stand by her; in fact she will not need anybody's protection apart from the Lord's. When your own staff rise up against you, there are questions to be answered. There are bosses who are very 'hard' but we still love them and actually like to work for them because we know they are right and just being principled. So let Madam Charlotte stand on her own two feet. She's a strong woman.
Women per see are not to be given a leadership position. They always misbehave. i am having the same problem in my house. Arrogance and pride. NAAAAAAAAA
PROTECTION MY FOOT !!!!!!!!!!!! GO AND BRING DE MONEY , PERIOD ! , U WHOM BEGGING FOR THE EC WHERE WE WILL GET UR SALARY TO PAY U , OOOH I CAN'T THING FAR CITIZEN .....
