Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otukonor, has explained that the party is yet to take any disciplinary actions against its former Central Regional Chairman, Allotey Jacobs.
The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC made this statement on Happy98.9FM.
He told host of the Happy Morning Show, Samuel Eshun, “it was not a statement but a letter to Allotey Jacobs. The letter to inform him of his suspension is not any punishment to him”.
According to Peter Otukonor the suspension is meant to give room for the disciplinary committee of the party to conduct their investigations and later on “carry out the necessary punishment” on the former Central Regional Chair of the NDC.
He noted that regardless of the duration of the suspension not mentioned in the letter, per the parties constitution the suspension can last no more than (six) 6 months.
On his authority Allotey Jacobs has spoken against the party on numerous occasions and whenever he was confronted he referred to himself as a social commentator.
The numerous reports received by the party has led them to suspend Allotey Jacobs to make room for the disciplinary committee of the NDC to conduct its investigations and met out the right punishment to him.
