A deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress has described as petty the party\u2019s decision to suspend him over contents of a mysterious tape.<\/p>\n
Kofi Adams stands accused of plotting the defeat of the Mills administration in the 2012 elections and the evidence by the accusers is a recorded telephone conversation purported to be between Adams and the New Patriotic Party\u2019s Gabby Asare Otchere Darko.<\/p>\n
The deputy General Secretary who is also aide to ex-president Rawlings has vehemently denied ownership of the voice on the tape but that did not stop the party\u2019s executive from suspending him.<\/p>\n
He was handed a three month suspension pending further investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
But speaking on MultiTV and Joy FM\u2019s news analysis programme Newsfile, Kofi Adams said the decision was petty, especially when the party has not given him a hearing on the matter.<\/p>\n
He stated emphatically the voice on the tape is not his but admitted having raised similar issues about some unfairness in the Sunyani congress.<\/p>\n
Kofi Adams insisted if the party is convinced the voice on the tape is his, it did not have to take 90 days for them to investigate the matter.<\/p>\n
He said he is not bothered at all but rather buoyed by the \u201cgoodwill messages from the rank and file of the party.”<\/p>\n
He is still consulting with his lawyers and will soon take a decision.<\/p>\n
A deputy Information Minister James Agyanim Boateng who makes a return to the Multimedia platform after government\u2019s unprecedented four days of boycott said the controversial tape is a “matter for the party to decide and Ghanaians to judge.”<\/p>\n
He said the voice on the other side of the tape was clearly engaging in a sell-out, a voice many largely believe is that of Kofi Adams.<\/p>\n
He was rather quick to add that it is not in his place to say emphatically whether that was the voice of Kofi Adams or not.<\/p>\n
He also described as unfounded allegations by the ex-first lady that the Sunyani Congress was rigged in favour of the sitting president. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
