The First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region, has petitioned regional executive committee of the party to summon Manhyia North Youth Organiser for allegedly defaming him on radio.
Kwabena Senkyire, the First Vice Chairman of the NPP in the Ashanti Region petitioned, the regional executive committee to take disciplinary action against Castro Abdul Mumuni, the Manhyia North Constituency executive for allegedly levelling unfounded claims against him.
“A member of the party who is the youth organiser for Manhyia North constituency, CastroAbdul Mumuni has misconducted himself in clear breach of the article 4 clause 7 (1) b, g and f of the NPP constitution,” he stated.
The petition comes following a radio interview granted by the respondent Mr Mumuni on February 10 on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma where Mr Senkyire claimed alleged derogatory remarks were rainedon him.
According to the petitioner, Mr Mumuni on the said date repeatedly mentioned on the radio station and quoted “Manhyia North constituency problem is Kwabena Senkyire and Kwabena Senkyire is Manhyia North Problem” which he alleged that “I Kwabena Senkyire has teamed up with the incumbent Member of Parliament Akwasi Konadu to cause problem in the constituency to the extent I have even instigated some people to take the party to the Supreme Court which I vehemently deny”.
He indicated that the said allegations had brought the name of the party and himself into disrepute as enshrined in Article 4 Clause 7 (1g) of the constitutionof the party, hence he prayed the disciplinary processes be triggered to peruse the petition. -3news.com
