CPP sacks acting General Secretary Akani Tanoh
The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has revoked
the membership of its acting General Secretary
Akani Tanoh.

The decision was reached by the party’s Central
Committee (CC) at an emergency meeting held on
Thursday.

The party in a letter intercepted by Joy News
accused Mr Tanoh of actions that violated the
CPP’s constitution.

He is said to have breached Articles 13, 111, 121
and 124 of the party’s constitution which are
related to the conduct of executive officers.

“Take heed to return any party property,
document, or material in your possession which
came under your custody as Acting General
Secretary in your own interest,” reads the
letter signed by CPP National Chairman, Prof
Edmund N. Delle.

Mr Tanoh in his reaction, described the claims
made against him as “bogus and useless,”
urging Ghanaians to disregard it.

He said he did not commit any offence, pointing
out he only spoke publicly about the “corrupt
activities” of the party’s 2016 flagbearer,
Ivor Kobina Greenstreet and other executive
members of the CPP.

“They have breached all the provisions in the
constitution,” he said, adding the party’s CC
should concern itself with the corrupt tendencies
of the party’s leadership.

Mr Tanoh explained he did not support Mr
Greenstreet in the 2016 elections because he was
“irresponsible.”

“The National Democratic Congress (NDC) was
reviving projects of Kwame Nkrumah…so why choose
a dead party?” he asked.

He said he has spoken to his lawyer and they will
react to the “claim” of his dismissal from the
party. “They have no locus to restrict me from
going to the party’s office.”
