A former Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Arthur Kennedy, has explicitly established that the NPP has now become a party of �violence and intimidation� as compared to the National Democratic Congress party which he and his party members once considered as an undemocratic group. Making this submission on Okay FM, Dr. Arthur Kennedy revealed that presently, when it comes to a party that can tolerate members who offer differing views, the NDC held a better record then the NPP. He asserted that gone are the days when the NDC used to gag �extreme members� or handicapped them through intimidation. With a very heavy heart, Dr. Arthur Kennedy noted that it saddens him to hear other members fiercely pounce on party stalwarts whenever they throw in suggestions. Citing himself as an example, the former NPP Communications Director said, �anytime I talk, someone comes out to insult me but then I have suffered for the party...But because of our party tradition, I went into exile; I wasted my time, energy and money�. He ended by describing the recent attack on Dr. Wereko Brobby as an �appalling� approach to resolving a pressing issue.
