Embattled National Youth Organiser of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), Ernesto Yeboah, has said he is not ashamed to be suspended from his position for waging war against corruption.<\/p>\n

The Central Committee of the CPP suspended the party\u2019s General Secretary, Nii Armah Akomfrah and Ernesto Yeboah on Thursday after they publicly contradicted the party\u2019s flagbearer, Ivor Greenstreet, over President John Mahama\u2019s Ford Expedition Saga.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”M6G27tdVusAcXPYQezScUNU7iqsL6kbo”]The two were suspended for publicly chastising and humiliating the party\u2019s flagbearer in the media after Mr. Greenstreet reportedly dismissed claims that the four wheel drive gift to the President amounted to bribery.<\/p>\n

But Ernesto Yeboah told Citi News <\/strong>that though he is shocked over the decision, he will not relent on the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would rather seek to petition state organizations that have the required constitutional powers to ensure that the truth of the matter is ascertained and we are not reneging on that. So if we are being honest simply because of this, then we are not ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Youth Organiser also noted that he has not yet received any correspondence from the party over his suspension saying he is unperturbed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we speak, I haven\u2019t received any formal conversation from the party spelling out exactly what I\u2019ve done wrong. But listening to the Director of Communication from other networks, I gather that our suspension is based on the Mahama bribe saga. They can take the position of the National Youth Organiser if they want, that isn\u2019t what we came into this world for.\u00a0 We know that this country has been destroyed by corruption. If he [Mr. Greenstreet] justifies corruption and defended President Mahama over the allegations of corruption, we ain\u2019t going to do that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

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

The youth wing of the CPP, had\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 Mr. Greenstreet at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Evening Encounter Series on\u00a0[Wednesday], 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
