The Office of His Excellency Jerry John Rawlings has read with disdain the front-page report of your April 26, 2012 edition captioned ‘JJ TELLS MILLS VOMIT WOYOME CASH’.
We wish to state categorically that the report authored by Charles Takyi Boadu is false.
While
we do not wish to delve into the details of what was discussed in
deference to the delegation of chiefs who requested for privacy in the
full glare of the media including your reporter, we have to state that
at no point during the meeting did President Rawlings issue conditions
and ultimatums to the NDC government.
President Rawlings’s
contributions at the meeting were summarized by his spokesperson, Mr.
Kofi Adams and we find it unprofessional and absurd that your reporter
attempted to question the veracity and accuracy of the presentation by
Mr. Adams.
The former President has throughout the tenure of
President Mills been unequivocal about the need for the Mills government
to uphold the tenets of probity and accountability and re-investigate
serious infractions during the tenure of the NPP. He did not hesitate to bring up those issues once again.
There
is no doubt that President Rawlings is extremely unhappy about
goings-on within the country under the administration of President
Mills, but that does not mean he will acquiesce to falsehoods linked to
his name even if they are critical of the current government.
This Office wonders if the report is not a conspiracy by certain political elements to generate misguided animosity within the current political dispensation designed to court the usual political sympathy for the government.
