A member of the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Kwame Amoako Tuffour has disclosed that the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party will implement the report released by the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n
He \u00a0said the Committee did no wrong in investigating the dismissal of two key party officers –\u00a0Opare Hammond (former Director of Finance and Administration) and Perry Okudzeto (former acting Director of Communication).<\/p>\n
Prof. Mike Oquaye, Chairman of the Committee\u00a0published a report<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0on Wednesday calling for their reinstatement after General Secretary, Kwamena Agyepong asked party members to \u201cdisregard the report<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and treat it with the contempt it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n However, speaking to\u00a0Citi News<\/b>, Dr. Kwame Amoako Tuffour insisted that the National Council would implement the report.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”NOr3HbUbdzsJIfl78id8R35U3US4TYck”]He said: \u201cwhich ever way you look at it, whether they have to do it now, later or whatever the action Oquaye a respectable member of the party and legal constitutional director of the party is saying is perfectly correct and it\u2019s in order. Kwamena Agyepong cannot say that simply and get away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Tuffour also insisted that its only the National Executive Committee (NEC) that could terminate the appointment of such high party officials.<\/p>\n \u201cThe essence of the report will not change. We all know that it has to be done properly. The NEC appointed them, [so] it\u2019s the NEC that can sack them. Kwamena Agyepong and Afoko are not NEC, they are part of it. They are part of the decision making body and therefore, they don\u2019t have the right of their own to take that kind of decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
