…as he hides on Civil Service Council, instigates CLOGSA demonstrations
…he is a polling station chairman in Okaikoi constituency
Intelligence Daily Post has picked up indicates that the Civil & Local
Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) demonstrations that have rocked
the country the past couple of days were NPP-instigated.
Signals pursued by this paper led it to one Richard Bampoe-Addo, who is
representing the Civil Servants Association (CSA) on the Civil Service Council
as the man at the heart of the planning and organization of the demonstrations.
Daily Post, for strategic reasons, prefers to keep certain vital information
regarding the instigation of these demonstrations under wraps for the moment.
However, what the paper can reveal at this time is that, per the rules and
regulations governing the conduct of Civil Servants, Richard Bampoe-Addo’s
membership of the Civil Service Council is illegal.
A protégé of Nana Akomea, NPP MP for Okaikoi South Constituency, Bampoe-Addo is
the Chairman of the Kaneshie One and Four Primary Schools polling stations in
the Kaneshie-Awudome Electoral Area in Accra.
Clearly, he has identified himself with a political party and participated
actively in its activities. Daily Post intelligence can say with all the
authority at its disposal that he was active for the NPP in the 2008 elections
which the party lost to the NDC.
Clearly, Richard Bampoe-Addo, in this light, cannot be a member of the Civil
Service Council. His removal, as a result, must be immediate. Neither can he be
a member of the Civil Servants Associations as the 1992 constitution forbids
Civil Servants from engaging in active party politics or being members of any
political party.
