Ghana Palaver

The paper has on its front page a story titled "Kwabena Essem sidelined." According to the story, the New Patriotic Party?s General Secretary, Mr. Dan Botwe has added a more complex twist to the trouble in the party by arrogating to himself the duties of Mr. Kwabena Essem, the party?s official Director of Communications.

The paper disclosed that Mr. Essem who threatened to resign his post has been completely sidelined and his duties being performed by Dan Botwe.

The paper added that Kwabena Essem is in a kind of fix as he is neither consulted nor invited to sit in meetings relating to how to plot the party?s propaganda strategies in the media and in the constituencies.

The paper concluded that the NPP is finding it difficult to kick out Mr. Essem because the Party owes him a fairly huge amount of money and it is finding it difficult to settle him.
