Asiseh is still a member of NDC- Spio-Garbrah

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied that Mr. Vincent Asiseh, former National Press Secretary has resigned from the party entirely.

"This is patently false because Mr. Asiseh has not resigned from the NDC. The truth is that Mr. Asiseh has resigned his position in the party", a statement issued by the NDC and signed by Mr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Chairman, Media Committee of the party said on Saturday.

The statement said "Mr Asiseh stated in a letter dated July three, this year, that "owing to my protracted ill-health and the unlikelihood that I can recover enough to play an active role in the re-organisation programme of the party, I am giving up my position as National Press Secretary."

"As a party we can not sacrifice the health of Mr Asiseh on the platform of political expediency," it said adding, that it is regrettable the services of a seasoned and indefatigable Press Secretary were not available when they were most needed.

It stated that Mr. Asiseh was not available to perform his duties during the presidential and parliamentary election last year.

The statement said, the NDC considers his resignation as natural and wish him speedy recovery adding that Mr. Asiseh remains a full-pledged member who carries the party's membership card.

"We are hopeful that he will continue to offer from time to time useful suggestions for the growth and development of the NDC." it concluded.
