General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has revealed that the suspended former Central Regional Chairman of the party Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs was cautioned by the party’s National Chairman Ofusu Ampofo before his suspension.
A statement signed by the NDC’s National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, on May 6, 2020, says Mr Allotey Jacobs was suspended pursuant to Article 46 (1) and 46 (6) and 46 (8) (b) of the Party’s constitution.
The statement says his suspension was based on what it termed “persistent anti-party conduct,” indicating that the decision to suspend him was taken at a National Executive Meeting held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020.
Allotey Jacobs’ suspension, the letter says, has been referred to the disciplinary committee of the party for further action.
Acording to the NDC Chief Scribe, before Allotey Jacobs was suspended from the NDC, the National Chairman of the party had had several closed door conversations and warned him about his actions which are contrary to the orders of the party.
“I have not called Allotey Jacobs but I know that National Chairman Ofosu Ampofo, you know he is an Elder of the Pentecost Church and for him to take such a serious action, he would have made every effort privately to engage Allotey Jacobs with nothing fruitful came out of it”, he hinted.
“Ofosu Ampofo told me that he has spoken with Allotey Jacobs at the time we realised that his behaviour contradicts the directives of the party, and there was mutual understanding of the consequences of behaviour; thus, he was reminded of what might happened if he continued on that tangent,” he indicated.
Asked what possibly might have led to Allotey Jacobs' recent conduct, General Mosquito as affectionately called, said he cannot tell.
“I cannot tell why Allotey Jacobs is doing this to the party and I am not on radio to discuss the lifestyle and how long he has served in the NDC. It is not part of the charge against him. He is an independent person and so he can choose to do whatever he likes”, he said.
He, however, was clear that suspending someone for whatever offensive conduct is not determined by how well or not that person has served the party.
“The party’s disciplinary procedure does not mean that if someone has served for 10 years and goes against the directives of the party, the person’s punishment should be less than someone who is just 2 years in the party. We don’t have such disciplinary procedure in the party and so if you have been a member for thousand years in the party and you violate the laws of the party, the punishment is just like someone who is considered a small fry in the party"
"....we are saying that political party is an association and we have our rules and regulations. You can only be part of the group if you adhere to its orders but if you think you cannot abide by our rules and want to act independent, then you cannot stay in the party," Asiedu Nketiah pointed out.

Hmmmmmmm. JDM granted an interview when NPP suspended Afoko and Agyepong. I wish Ghanaians will be privy to that interview. He indicated how intolerant the NPP was. Today, it’s ok to suspend Allotey. Politicians. The electorates no more have short memories oooooo.
If you can not always lie, you can not be part of NDC! WICKED and CRIMINAL gang. CREATE, LOOT & SHARE party!
They end justifies the means, so let's wait and see. For the records, NPP called Afoko and Co. to disciplinary committee first and they refused to come.
good work done. i hate politics of lies. did NPP not even suspended and removed a national party chairman and secretary. did they pull a gun or did they stole?. it was same untrustworthy like allotey?. NDC mole allotey isnt the only truthful guy and want Ghana to progress. apraku, nyaho tamakloe, wreko brobby, even prez kuffour did same and what did NPP not do to them. You can say it as it is but even at the catholic parish, not all truth are said. some are not commented on at all to avoid lying or bringing calamity. do you think all wrong about Judas Bible wrote or written in the Bible? and are you telling me if you SAY WE HAVE A MATURED PREZ NOW AND GOOD TO HAVE A MATURED MAN AS LEADER you aren't casting insinuation on your flag bereer. why can you say, this case, lets all be united and solve rather than going that far to say whatever unnecessary. if you are told to describe the sea, don't go beyond to list the creatures in it, ya duty is describe the sea. allotey must be made to apologize or better be on indefinite suspension. NPP did same to even national chairman and secretary so it issnt new in Ghana neither wrong until they reinstate afoko and kwabena agyapong. as suspension was a blessing to them, same way NDC suspending allotey may be a blessing in disguise
Allotey's utterances and appearance on radio talk show proves that he is not trustworthy, therefore cannot be relied on by NDC. This goes to prove what a former lady said about fantes. Central region is gradually becoming a swing region just like the officials / representatives of both parties in the region. NPP should also, be very careful because it reminds me of Kuffour/Allan/Akuffo Addo's issue in central region. These guys can swing at any time depending on highest bid irrespective of party affiliation- To them bread and butter comes first before LOYALTY
Oh so there is elements of truth in the rumours trending!! Alotey is kicked for being truthful and objective and he refused to be towed on by your top m afia guru. Magya HE P Ata got mangled for trying to investigate a high class malfeasance for the purpose of cover up. Hmmm!!!
