Briefing
Speaking to the media after giving their statements to the police, Nana Yaa Jantuah said they were invited by the Adabraka Police, following a complaint lodged against them by their embattled national chairperson.
She said Nana Sarpong-Kumankumah had reported to the police that they (the five national officers) had insulted her and had also made some derogatory statements about her.
She said they were therefore summoned by the police to provide them with their statements on the matter.
The CPP General Secretary noted that whatever thing that is happening within the party now is about its constitution and not about any individual.
The National Women’s Organiser of the party, Hajia Aisha Sulley Futa, for her part, described the action taken by the national chairperson of the party against them as unfortunate.
