The Convention People’s Party (CPP), has suspended its General Secretary, Nii Armah Akomfrah, and its National Youth Organiser, Ernesto Yeboah, for what it described as gross acts of indiscipline.<\/p>\n

The decision was taken at a\u00a0Central Committee Meeting of the party today [Thursday], where the two were cited for publicly chastising and humiliating Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, the flagbearer of the party, in the media.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”jy3679s8Xz61x9Sfi81N37T6Wiro61N7″]The party argues that, Mr. Yeboah and Mr. Akomfrah have brought the party\u2019s name into disrepute, and have therefore been referred to the party’s disciplinary committee for further action.<\/p>\n

Pending this disciplinary committee hearing, the executives\u00a0will cease to act in their official capacity.<\/p>\n

Decision was unanimous<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Chairman of the CPP, Professor Edmond Delle, revealed that the suspension \u201cwas a unanimous decision taken by the Central Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened was that, the central committee took a decision that the youth organizer and the general secretary be referred to the disciplinary committee, but\u00a0should remain suspended,\u201d he explained\u00a0to Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The two suspended executives will be expected to \u201canswer some questions to explain why they have put the party into disrepute by their utterances and behavior and they will go there and try to justify,\u201d according to Prof Delle.<\/p>\n

He further noted that, the party believed that \u201cno party member should say anything against the party without using the appropriate mechanisms\u00a0because we have a way of discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenstreet’s comments on Mahama Ford ‘gift’ saga<\/strong><\/p>\n

This suspension\u00a0is believed to be connected to the US$100,000 Ford vehicle gift offered President John Mahama by a Burkinabe contractor, which some have interpreted to constitute a bribe and a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

Mr. Greenstreet is on record to have said that,\u00a0he saw nothing wrong with the acceptance of the gift on President Mahama\u2019s part despite the allegations\u00a0of bribery.<\/p>\n

This led to Mr. Yeboah and Mr. Akomfrah criticizing their flagbearer in the media for suggesting that the President broke no law by accepting the gift.<\/p>\n

CPP Youth wing petition CHRAJ\u00a0over car gift <\/strong><\/p>\n

The youth wing of the CPP, has since \u00a0petitioned<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), to investigate issues surrounding the US$100,000 ford vehicle given to the President.<\/p>\n

But at his appearance at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Evening Encounter Series on\u00a0[Wednesday], Mr. Greenstreet intimated that, the Youth League\u2019s comments and actions on the Ford Expedition Saga were not in line<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with the party\u2019s position.<\/p>\n
