I think our constitution doesn\u2019t provide for that, it didn\u2019t envisage the General Secretary of the party to be absent from his job for two years, it\u2019s not there but I hope that good sense will prevail, I mean I\u2019m happy with myself, I thank God for the heart that I have, I\u2019m very content,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat, Mr. Kufuor said he prays the NPP will resolve whatever challenges they have with the suspended officers and bring them back into its fold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t for the suspension of Kwabena Agyepong and Afoko in the first place, I was not for it.
