In an interview on The Big Issue<\/strong> on Citi FM on Saturday, Dr Arthur Kennedy said Nana Addo should have\u00a0\u201cunequivocally condemned<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the impeachment procedures\u201d against the two, Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong.<\/p>\n The Communications Director of the party Nana Akomea in response said\u00a0Nana Addo’s decision to refer those asking for Afoko and Agyepong\u2019s removal to the party\u2019s National Executive Council (NEC) was a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n \u201cHe [Arthur Kennedy] said Akufo Addo should have come out clearly and condemn the cause of impeachment. Why will Akufo Addo do that. These are opinions being expressed by party members\u00a0 so what Nana Akufo Addo advised was for party members to follow the grievance procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n Nana Akomea also rubbished Dr Arthur Kennedy’s claims that the Chairman and General Secretary are not being allowed to work effectively.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen people go to congress and contest positions, \u00a0they are entitled to hold the positions except for illness, death or something extraordinary. For some time now, it has been occurring that there have been some people who are determined not to let Mr Afoko and Mr Agyepong serve their term and the two of them as they are entitled, are determined to serve the mandate.\u201d He further argued that the current confusion in the NPP could stop \u201cIf people stop trying to hound them [Afoko and Agyepong] out of office,\u201d Arthur Kennedy said.<\/p>\n Nana Akomea in a rebuttal, questioned the basis for Arthur Kennedy\u2019s claims, saying he had no evidence to support his position.<\/p>\n \u201cArthur Kennedy makes the point that people don\u2019t want Afoko and Agyepong to work without any proof…What is the basis of his statement that people have prevented the Chairman and the General Secretary from working,\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n On Thursday some loyalists of \u00a0the National Chairman, Paul Afoko clashed with the \u201cInvisible Forces,\u201d a security group guarding the party\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n Afoko’s supporters were demanding that party allows the chairman to work from the headquarters and allowed to function.<\/p>\n During Nana Addo’s Friday press conference, he\u00a0ordered party elements<\/a><\/strong><\/span> preventing the National Chairman and General Secretary from working from their offices at the\u00a0party\u2019s headquarters to allow them access.<\/p>\n The “Invisible Forces”\u00a0have heeded the call by the presidential candidate<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to grant Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong access to their offices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Efe Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"IMG-20150529-WA0003\"](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG-20150529-WA0003.jpg\")
