EC Commissioner Sued Over Altering Of Age

An Employee at The Electoral Commission(EC) , Hajia Sa-Adatu Maida have been sued over her refusal to retire from her office duty.

The plaintiff, Boakye Assomaning Tawiah, argues that Hajia Maida is over 60 years per her date of birth of June 5, 1958, on her Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) records.

He is seeking a declaration from the court that Hajia Maida “ was due for her compulsory retirement since 5th June 2018.”

He wants the court to order her to “proceed on her compulsory retirement fourteen days following the final determination of this suit.”

Mr. Tawiah is also hoping to save the state some money by securing a ruling that all money paid to Hajia Maida by the EC “should be refunded to the state including the interest on the said payment to the 1st defendant [Hajia Maida].
