NPP bigwig calls out selective discipline and dodges at the top

A party insider just called out his own team's hypocritical discipline system. Dr. Arthur Kennedy of Ghana's New Patriotic Party slammed internal disciplinary actions as selective and unfair. He argued real change requires holding even the highest figures, like ex-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, accountable.

Kennedy cited the removals of former party executives Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong as examples of vindictive, unprincipled decisions. He claimed their sanctions lacked proper justification and due process. Those past actions, according to Kennedy, keep damaging party unity and credibility.

He insisted accountability inside the party must be transparent and applied evenly to everyone. Kennedy challenged the NPP to examine the Akufo-Addo administration's record if it wants genuine reform. He pointed to alleged corruption, a lack of cabinet changes, and widespread arrogance during that government.

Subjecting the former president to scrutiny would show a commitment to better standards, Kennedy stated. His comments have sparked renewed internal debate over fairness and institutional integrity. The party faces questions about confronting its own leadership failures.
