“If
we are to speed the coming of the new age, we must have the moral
courage to stand up and protest against injustice wherever we find it”
Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
One of the
baseless charges against National Chairman Paul Afoko was that, he
issued a statement which took the shine off Akufo-Addo’s rise and build
tour. See the difference in dates of exchanged Press Releases below
ON 31ST
AUGUST 2015, the National Chairman through his Spokesperson released a
statement extolling the Flagbearer as INCORRUPTIBLE with a harmless
caption as ” PARTY LEADERSHIP TO DEAL WITH ACTS OF CORRUPTION” .
“We have a
flag bearer who is incorruptible, and it is the expectation of the
National Chairman that all party members, especially office holders at
all levels, will emulate the incorruptible nature of our flag bearer by
applying resources of the party judiciously with the view to improving
the party’s chances of winning the 2016 general election,” – 31st August
2015.
2 days
Later On 2nd September 2015, A press statement emanating from the office
of the Flagbearer and signed by Eugene Arhin ANNOUNCES the intention of
Akufo-Addo to embark on a Rise and Build Tour.
“The 2016
presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, will from Thursday, September 3, 2015, embark on a month
long tour of the country to touch base with the party, ahead of the
commencement of the campaign for the 2016 general elections.” ,
Statement of Eugene Arhin on 2nd September 2015.
TESTIMONY OF KWABENA AGYEI AGYEPONG ON 7TH SEPTEMBER 2015 on OKAY FM
“The
impression is created that I am not in Ghana because I don’t want to
help Nana with his tour. First and foremost as of the time I was leaving
Ghana on the 21st August, I don’t think the Presidential Candidate had
planned to inform us of the tour.”
“National
Executives went for a meeting and there was no indication that the date
of the National tour was 2nd September. Infact it was on the 1st of
September that I read on the internet that Eugene Arhin who is the press
secretary to the Presidential candidate had issued a statement
indicating that Nana Addo will start his tour in the Volta Region, I had
earlier discussed with Nana Addo that he should start his campaign from
the Volta Region.” Kwabena Agyepong
LOGICAL DEDUCTIONS
How does a statement on 31st August 2015 takes spoils the brilliance of an unknown event set to occur on 3rd September 2015?
Are members of the Disciplinary committee unconvincingly feeble minded to the extent of mis-ruling over this outright lies?
One is
inclined to assume that the Disciplinary Committee never made effort to
investigate the veracity or otherwise of this obvious untruth because of
their eagerness to sack National Chairman Paul Afoko in order to suit
the desires of a certain incorruptible flagbearer.
The
decision of the flagbearer to embark on a rise and build tour was
arbitrary and never tabled for discussion at any National Council
meeting, yet another of the said ridiculous charges against National
Chairman Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong was that, they engaged in
taking UNILATERAL DECISIONS.
Going
through the further and better particulars above, the petitioners acted
on bad faith and this repudiate their petition (he who comes to equity
must come with clean hands).
The
demeanor of the Disciplinary Committee to the extent of glossing over
this clear distortion of facts to hang an innocent Chairman Afoko can
best be described as a “Doomsday for Justice”
