The suspended National Youth Organizer of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Ernesto Yeboah, believes the party’s\u00a0decision to suspend him is effectively an endorsement of corruption.<\/p>\n

Mr. Yeboah was\u00a0suspended after he publicly contradicted the party\u2019s flagbearer, Ivor Greenstreet, on the matter and\u00a0petitioning<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ, to investigate the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would wonder how any party with integrity would suspend its members for fighting against corruption,\u201d he noted on Citi FM’s<\/strong> news analysis program,\u00a0The Big Issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”gdlsxPBWse6py4ZPoBTExVDAnth6PEEO”]Mr. Yeboah, who was suspended<\/a><\/strong><\/span> alongside the Party\u2019s General Secretary, Nii Armah Akomfrah, lamented the fact that his suspension for “fighting against corruption” was coming from a party which brags about strong anti-corruption principles.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a party like the Convention People\u2019s Party, founded on the ideas and principles of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, to be suspending its members for fighting against corruption is something that appears shocking to the dismay of the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Mr. Yeboah’s view, their suspension from the party is an endorsement of corruption. \u00a0“That’s the message that comes across\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The suspended Youth Organizer maintained that, \u201cfor a party to suspend its members simply because they have instructed CHRAJ to conduct an independent investigation in order to establish the veracity of the matter is something that beats our imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenstreet exhibiting double standards on corruption<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Greenstreet was widely heralded for criticising the the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) at its congress in 2014 for perceived corruption and mismanagement of the economy.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Yeboah believes his Flagbearer has been exhibiting double standards following his stance on the Ford ‘gift’ given to the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cIvor Greenstreet appeared on the IEA platform and this is a place where he has an opportunity to explain and take a strong stance against corruption. Unfortunately he ends up shooting the party in the head,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you for corruption or you are against it. That is the number one question on everybody\u2019s mind and that is what Ghanaians expected an answer to\u201d Mr. Yeboah stated in response to his Flagbearers claims that he did not want to be forced<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to join persons accusing President Mahama of being corrupt.<\/p>\n
