The New Patriotic Party’s regional organiser in the Ashanti Region, Kennedy Kankam has challenged his party’s decision to suspend him from the party for alleged divisive comments he made.He is reported to have suggested on a local radio station that the Akyem members of the party are behind recent agitation for the Ashanti members of the party to be prosecuted by the Attorney General.NPP Ashanti regional secretary, Sam Pine confirmed the suspension to Luv FM in Kumasi, saying, the decision was based on preliminary investigations conducted by the disciplinary committee of the party after a complaint was filed by George Eyisi Boateng, founding member of the party.The secretary said a letter to that effect is due to be delivered to Mr Kankam.Speaking to Joy News, however, Mr Kankam said he has not received such a letter and described the action taken by the party’s executives as unconstitutional.Quoting the party’s Article 3, of the NPP constitution, Kankam said “Any decision to suspend a member shall not be taken unless the nature of the complaint has been communicated to the member in writing and disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against such a member.”This, he said the party has gone contrary to because they did not communicate anything to him in writing. He also added that the Regional Executive Committee made up of elected officers and their deputies, all constituency chairpersons in the Ashanti region, all MPs in the region, all patrons and founding members of party in the region who are supposed to constitute the people who can come out with this decision.Kankam stated that as far as he is concerned, he is still the regional organiser and that there is nothing like a suspension because what they are doing is unconstitutional and they don’t have the mandate to do that.Story by Ernest Dela Aglanu/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
