Chairman of the NPP Council of Elders, Hackman Owusu-Agyeman, has called for tough conditions to be imposed on individuals who resign from the party only to return later.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Joy News\u2019 PM Express on September 17, he said the party has been far too lenient with such figures, describing their actions as disruptive to internal organisation and progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a few of them, without mentioning names, who resigned, then came back, then resigned, then came back. It\u2019s not a child game, so what the general secretary is saying makes a bit of sense. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s saying that if you come, then some undertakings might be taken. You don\u2019t come and disturb us. If you\u2019ve gone, then if you want to stay where you are, stay, but if you come back, then we should have preconditions for you to do that thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hackman noted that past indulgence of this behaviour has harmed the party. <\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that, but I think that in the past, we have been too liberal, lenient with people who have done that and eventually disturbed our forward march to better organisation and things like that,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He also expressed frustration at the tendency of such returnees to malign the party after leaving. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then when they go, they don\u2019t only shut their mouth, they begin to see all manner of things which never took place in the party. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut people believe that, because they are coming from within, it\u2019s almost like the fish coming from the water to say the crocodile is dead, and they have been quite a bit of a nuisance for me personally. And that\u2019s my personal opinion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The veteran politician stressed that stricter rules are needed to protect party unity. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think that if they come, the condition should be stringent, and people who have done it two, three times must not even be considered at all. That\u2019s my personal opinion,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
