Kwabena Agyepong responds to suspension

The suspended General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong has responded to the reasons for his recent indefinite suspension from the party, and said there were intended or untended attempts to “impugn” his reputation and tarnish his “good name.”

Kwabena Agyepong was suspended on December 10 2015, together with the party’s Second Vice Chairman, Sammy Crabbe for misconduct. Their suspensions followed that of the National Chairman, Paul Afoko.

Mr. Agyepong was accused of violating Article 3(D) of the party’s constitution which enjoins members to publicly uphold the decisions of the party, through various acts.

He was also accused of engaging in “unilateral actions and activities without consultation of, or authorization by the NEC.”

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Mr Agyepong listed a number of reasons and said the charges against him were baseless.
