Pratt said on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana show on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 that a group has petitioned the president with some allegations against Jean Mensa. Kwesi Pratt said the constitution is clear that in matters like this, the president acts as ‘conveyor belt’ and passes on the petition to the Chief Justice to decide if there is some merit in the petition. Charlotte Osei, it will be recalled was removed as EC chair in June 2018 following a recommendation by a committee formed by the then Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo. The committee after probing the allegations made against Charlotte Osei by some staff of the Electoral Commission proposed she and two other deputy commissioners be fired. The President adopted the recommendations and fired Charlotte Osei along with her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwaa.
