The embattled Youth Organiser of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), Ernesto Yeboah, is insisting his suspension has been lifted despite the party’s Central Committee stating otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the Commander-in-Chief of the Youth League of the Convention People\u2019s Party and we are carrying on without tasks,\u201d he stated on Eyewitness News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”YC07GKtUUMTJstkhRTRtQOH9LFqRqkyM”]Mr. Yeboah, alongside the CPP General Secretary, Nii Armah Akomfrah, were suspended<\/a><\/strong><\/span> after publicly contradicting their flagbearer\u2019s position on President Mahama’s Ford gift saga.<\/p>\n

The two were subsequently referred to the Disciplinary Committee following which their reinstatement was recommended.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s Central Committee however rejected the recommendations<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from the Disciplinary Committee arguing that certain basic tenants of natural justice were not observed before the determination of the matter.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Yeboah asserted that the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee \u201cempanelled it with respectable members of the party\u201d should stand<\/p>\n

\u201cA competent quasi-judicial body established by Article 113 of the CPP constitutional body has acquitted and discharged me. They found no wrong doing or anything as may have been the case. It goes for Nii Armah Akomfrah, General Secretary of the Convention People\u2019s Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t tell the Central Committee to send me to the disciplinary committee of the party or Nii Armah Akomfrah. They did. We submitted ourselves to the process in spite of the glaring breaches of our fundamental human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disciplinary Committee overstepped its boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vice Chair of the CPP, Susan Adu Amankwaa, also gave her take on the Ernesto Yeboah\u2019s response to the Disciplinary Committee\u2019s recommendation.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cthe recommendation did come and the CC [Central Committee] did say that no; because you did not receive charges and sit on the case with the charges. We are referring the matter to you again presenting charges then you can then come up with the recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Amankwa maintained that \u201cIt is not for the Disciplinary Committee to write to the people to reinstate them. That is not what is in constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Ernesto and the General Secretary were being disciplined, they would have waited for the body that indicted them and the recommendation that were given to that body for that body to reinstate them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Amankwa also condemned the actions of the party thugs who caused a fracas at the party office on Monday saying \u201cwe will definitely scold them\u201d but she believes the suspended duo brought it on themselves.<\/p>\n

In her view, Ernesto Yeboah and Nii Armah Akomfrah \u201cshould not have come to the office without official letters coming from the CC saying that, we have reinstated you per the recommendations of the DC.\u201d<\/p>\n
