Member of Parliament for Wa West, Peter Toobu has called on political parties, particularly the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) to delete names of former presidents from their party records.
According to hi,, once someone becomes a statesman he cannot go back to their party doing politics and therefore this decision will preserve their dignity.
Speaking to Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Neat FM’s Me Man Nti programme, the Wa West MP said: “a good name is better than riches…I think after the two-term of every president, their names should be deleted from the party’s records. He’s no longer a party person because when you go back to the party, you reduce yourself….it’s embarrassing to go back to party politicking after becoming a President and so statesmen like former President Kufuor is a Ghanaian and not an NPP member and must be given the respect he deserves”.
