RAWLINGS, MILLS CRUNCH MEETING FALSE – A REJOINDER
Dear Editor,
The attention of the Office of former President Rawlings has been drawn to a publication in the Daily Guide edition of December 23, 2010 captioned, “JJ, Mills In Crunch Meeting”.
The said article is full of lies and the records must be set straight.
The recent meeting between President Mills and the Founder attended by some security Chiefs and retired Generals was held to discuss the crisis in Cote d’Ivoire and the role Ghana should be playing to resolve it. At no point during the meeting were matters involving the NDC discussed.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and Captain Kojo Tsikata were not present at that meeting.
It is thus a lie for Daily Guide to state that: “The agenda on the table was “sack the greedy bastards and get my support, or maintain them and face Nana Konadu at the NDC congress” later next year.”
We are appalled that the Daily Guide failed to crosscheck such details with either this Office or the Castle. It is irresponsible to feed the public with such lies, which are calculated at reducing the genuine criticisms of government by President Rawlings, into a petty individual agenda.
This Office demands a retraction and apology from the Daily Guide for its false report. The retraction and apology should be given the same prominence as the original report.
Yours Sincerely
Kofi Adams
