Accra, Jan. 23, GNA – The Legal and
Constitutional Committee of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) has given the
Party leadership a 14-day ultimatum to rectify constitutional infractions or
face the law.
The 14-day ultimatum will expire on Thursday,
January 30, 2020.
According to the CPP Legal and
Constitutional Committee, the infractions, if unchecked, would undermine the
Party, its cohesion and discipline, and eventually lead to its collapse.
A resolution issued at the end of a meeting
by the Committee, signed by Mr Kwame Nkrumah Botsio, Secretary, and copied to
the Ghana News Agency on Thursday, said if the Central Committee failed to
ratify the infractions, it will take the appropriate steps to uphold the CPP
Constitution.
The meeting was chaired by Mr Bright Akwetey
and attended by Mr Kwame Dadzoe, Mr Kingsley Kwasitsu, Mr Samuel Kodjoe, the
Reverend Charles R. A. Tandoh, Mr George Ankomah-Mensah, Mr Yehoda Kotey, Mr
John Appiah, and the Secretary, Mr Kwame Nkrumah Botsio.
The CPP Constitution indicates that the
Central Committee is the highest administrative organ of the Party, responsible
for implementation of policies and decisions under the leadership of the
National Chairperson.
It also has the mandate to initiate Party
policies, establish such policy area sub-committees and intra-party
organisations as may be required for its administration.
The Central Committee shall empanel the
Vetting Committee to vet persons seeking national positions as well as
presidential aspirants.
It has the authority to approve the
candidature of persons contesting the presidential position.
