He cannot sit where he is sitting and think he can sanction people just like that\u201d, the lawmaker fumed during a telephone interview on Kumasi-based Nhyira FM show.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Dr. Richard Amoako-Tuffour had confirmed on the station his outfit has suspended the Constituency chairman of the party, Mr Joe Card with immediate effect.<\/p>\n<p>According to Disciplinary Committee Chairman, he has received a petition from a member of the party against the embattled Constituency Chairman hence, his decision to suspend him.<\/p>\n<p>But the Hon. Kennedy KanKam described Dr. Richard Amoako-Tuffour\u2019s decision as undemocratic and alien to the NPP\u2019s Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not what the NPP\u2019s Constitution talks about. \u2026Let Amoako-Tuffour concentrate on his job as Presidential Advisor to President Akufo-Addo\u201d, Hon.
