NPP dismisses Tarzan's request to suspend disciplinary action

The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it will not suspend the work of Disciplinary Committee looking into the conduct of its founding member, Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby.

Dr. Wereko-Brobby is facing the Committee for allegedly exhibiting behaviours that put the party's image into disrepute. That includes his description of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party's star witness in the ongoing Presidential Election Petition, as clueless.

Tarzan as he is popularly called, has asked the Committee to abandon proceedings because according to him, it has been compromised by certain prejudicial comments attributed to one of its members; Mr. Ayikoi Otoo.

But speaking in an interview on CitiFM Tuesday, General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie said the Disciplinary Committee will continue with its work.

According to him, the supposed prejudicial comments by Ayikoi Otoo will not in any way affect the final recommendations of the Committee.

"The Disciplinary Committee is made up of eight people so if he [Tarzan] has a problem with one of them he should have raised it before the Committee but he failed to do that," he stressed.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie maintained that Tarzan's complaint to the Chairman of the Committee is ill-timed.
