Ashanti regional
CPP chairman not sacked
Kumasi, Jan 25, Ghanadot/GNA – The Ashanti
Regional Executive of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), has
dismissed speculations that its chairman, Mr Samuel K. Danso has
been sacked from office.
The executive asked party supporters throughout the country to
treat rumours that Mr. Danso has been expelled from the CPP with
contempt.
The denial that was contained in a statement signed by Mr.
Daniel Essien, the regional secretary, said it was unfortunate
that some aggrieved members of CPP were bent on destroying the
image of the party.
It also denied allegations by some people that the regional
chairman had embezzled party funds and explained that no such
money had been entrusted to the regional CPP secretariat by the
CPP national headquarters for party activities.
The statement said “Mr. Kwasi Prempeh, a leading member of the
CPP raised funds to support the party’s programme ahead of the
2008 General election and that the monies were duly accounted
for and records are there to testify as to how the monies were
used”.
It debunked rumours that Mr. Danso had hijacked the party’s
vehicle for his personal use, explaining that the said pick-up
vehicle belonged to Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, the CPP flagbearer for
Election 2008, who ordered the regional executive to return the
vehicle to him after the elections.
The statement appealed to well-meaning supporters of CPP to
remain focused and ignore any attempt to divide the party.
