JUST IN: NPP Sacks Owusu Bempah As He Threatens To Reveal All Secrets If He Is Sacked

 

Tensions continue to mount within the MP party as concerns grow over discipline, leadership, and the right of members to speak freely without fear of reprisal. Several party members have expressed frustration, arguing that once a member openly disagrees with the party’s official line, the consequences are either losing their position or being expelled entirely. This, they claim, has created a culture where officials feel compelled to show loyalty not out of conviction, but out of fear of punishment.

At the centre of the storm is a petition calling for the removal of the Deputy Director of Communications, which has been referred to the national council for consideration. Supporters of due process argue that there is nothing wrong with such petitions being assessed properly, as discipline must be handled fairly and transparently. They stress that any decision should follow laid-down procedures, rather than being clouded by political pressure or internal rivalries.

Some critics within the party insist that they have the moral right to speak their conscience, regardless of threats of sanction. They point out that Ghana’s political environment has evolved significantly since 2012 and 2013, and that ordinary voters are now sophisticated enough to judge parties by their consistency and integrity. If the MP party condemns the opposition NDC for certain actions while repeating the same behaviour, voters will see through it.

In this light, some argue that the party should not try to silence internal critics but instead allow open debate, even if it exposes weaknesses. According to them, the real test of leadership is not suppressing dissent but managing it constructively. They add that, unlike the NDC, where criticism from within is often tolerated, the MP has become intolerant of differing opinions, leading to resentment among members.

Those targeted for criticism, including national officers, have responded firmly, saying they are prepared to defend their positions anywhere. They stress that their remarks are not aimed at glorifying individuals but at defending principles of leadership, accountability, and discipline. Ultimately, they argue, it should be the people of Ghana who decide which leaders are fit to govern, not internal disciplinary measures that silence legitimate voices.
