The Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP) has suspended its General Secretary, Nii Akomfrah and National Youth Organiser, Ernesto Yeboah following the controversy surrounding the Ford vehicle gift offered President John Mahama by a Burkinabe contractor.

Akomfrah and Ernesto Yeboah had openly criticised the flag bearer of the party, Ivor Greenstreet after he said there was nothing wrong with Mahama’s decision to accept the car gift from the said contractor.

They subsequently petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice over the matter, arguing that the president disregarded the guidelines on conflict of interest in accepting the vehicle gift.

The Disciplinary Committee of the party has however given the two the opportunity to defend themselves.
