Sam Pyne slams NDC for suspending Allotey Jacobs

The Ashanti Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Samuel Pyne has criticized the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for suspending social commentator, Allotey Jacobs.

The former Central Regional Chairman of the NDC was suspended for his “consistent anti-party conduct.”

However, Sam Pyne feels the decision was wrong.

"Is NDC saying that even if something is going on right in government, it should be condemned at all cost? What did Allotey Jacobs do wrong? NDC's conduct is wrong and bad for governance," he said in a discussion on Hello FM.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended its former Central Regional Chairman, Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs.

National Chairman of the NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, in explaining the action taken said Allotey Jacobs was suspended for “persistent anti-party conduct”.

“The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress, acting on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, at its meeting held on Wednesday, the 6th day of May, 2020, has suspended you forthwith as a member of the party, pursuant to articles 46(1), 46(6) and 46(8) of the party’s constitution for your persistent anti-party conduct,” the letter stated.

The matter has been referred to the Disciplinary Committee of the NDC for further action.
