Threats against Kwabre East NHIS manager wrong – NPP

The National Health Insurance Manager, of the Kwabre East district Mohammed Kamal Hassan have been ordered by some New Patriotic Party(NPP) polling station executives to resign immediately or face their wrath.

The party members accused him of flouting the code of conduct of public officers as enshrined in the constitution after he actively engaged in the NDC’s campaign for re-election last year.

But the NPP executives in the Kwabre East have condemned the acts saying the polling station executives erred by not using the right channel to address their grievances.

The Constituency Secretary, Opoku Agyemang-Bonsu told Accra-based Citi FM in an interview that the party does not condone indecent and irrational behaviour of party members insisting that the action by the polling station executives was wrong.

“What I have to say is that, it’s a wrong procedure they’ve followed because they should have petitioned us(Executive body) and we would have gone through the petition and after we have known what they are saying have merits, then we’ll write on behalf of them to the appropriate quarters. You see we are not like the NDC who were chasing people from their offices with cutlasses and all that. No! this is a respected party, led by a respected lawyer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. So we must do things as must be done. Even their petition, they didn’t have telephone numbers on it. Those people purported to have written the petition, who they claim to be polling station executives, their telephone numbers aren’t there for anybody to call and check up whether it’s even true. So the whole procedure is wrong. It could be that the person did that, so we have to investigate from our outfit and know.”
