NPP MP tells party to organize leadership course for Chairman Wontumi

New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim North,

The MP’s suggestion follows the incident where Chairman Wontumi on Sunday, May 1 showed his thuggery best when he slapped his fellow party member, Collins Owusu Amankwa who is the Member of Parliament for Manhyia North at a registration centre.

Following the disgraceful act, the police declared Wontumi wanted after which he turned himself in on Tuesday and was detained.

According to Kasapafmonline.com, Chairman Wontumi was arraigned before court on Wednesday, May 4 on charges of an assault of a public officer.

An Asokwa Magistrate Court later granted him bail to the sum of GHC 20,000 and is scheduled to re-appear in court on June 1.

But Hon. Kwadwo Baah Agyeman who condemned his Regional Chairman’s assault on a sitting MP noted that the act of indiscipline is unbecoming of a high ranking party official.

He criticized him for his poor leadership management adding that the party should take steps to help him appreciate the essence of being a leader.

“Wontumi’s posture towards Manhyia North since the very day the party decided to run the elections in the constituency has been manifested in what happened on Sunday. What he did to the MP must be condemned. I expect Parliament to defend our own.

I plead that the party takes Wontumi for a leadership course to learn how to react and live with persons that he necessarily doesn’t have a relationship with. He should study how the previous chairman managed the region,” he said.
