Korle Clottey NDC Communication Officer suspended

The National Functional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended the Korle Clottey Communication Officer of the party, Mr Emmanuel Ashalley Tetteh, for contravening the code of conduct  of the party.

A letter signed by the General Secretary of the NDC,  Mr  Johnson Asiedu Nketia,  and copied to the Klottey Korle  Constituency executive,  stated that Mr  Tetteh had  been suspended for contravening the code of conduct which forbade officers  to sit on radio to castigate the leadership of the party.

According to the letter sighted by the Daily Graphic, the  national executive has clippings and video footages of  Mr Tetteh insulting former President John Dramani Mahama  and the party leadership for causing  the defeat of the party in the 2016 elections.

Disciplinary committee

This  evidence  will be put before the suspended officer when he appears before a disciplinary committee of the  party to state his case.

Speaking to the Daily Graphic in an interview, the Klottey Korle  Constituency Secretary of the NDC, Mr Dizzy Quaye, confirmed the suspension of Mr Tetteh.

Mr Quaye said he had copied  all the 160  branches of the party in the constituency, and asked members not to do any business with Mr Tetteh until the decision of the National Executive Committee was reversed.

He said the suspended officer  would appear before a national disciplinary committee to defend himself before any decision could be taken on him finally.

 Mr Quaye  said  the Deputy Communication Officer, Mr Julius Neequaye Kotey, would act in his place until the indefinite  suspension was lifted.

 He said  Functional National  Executives  had also asked Madam Emelia Nortey to act in place of the Women Organiser following the death of Mrs Belinda Yakah, until elections were held.

“We hope that all the branch executive will co-operate with the directives till further notice,” the letter said.
