Supreme Court ruling victory for democracy – Rawlings

Techiman (Brong Ahafo) 08 March 2002 – Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Wednesday said in Techiman that the Supreme Court’s ruling on the unconstitutionality of the Fast Track Courts was a victory for democracy.

Former President Rawlings, who was speaking at meeting of National Democratic Congress (NDC) functionaries and supporters at Techiman, said it was a demonstration of the success of democracy in the country.

He said the change of government in the 2000 elections was a learning process for all Ghanaians as unfolding events had shown them the truth that the economic hardships were not caused by the NDC.

The Ex-President denied media reports that he had castigated Vice-President Alhaji Aliu Mahama for his lack of punctuality, explaining that he was only apologising on behalf of his own group and the Vice-President’s for their late arrival at the funeral of the late NDC Northern Regional Chairman, Alhaji Mahamadu Maida.

The Former President said the NDC would always stand by the truth and justice and urged supporters of the party to stand firm to be able to recapture power in the 2004 general election.
