Open Letter To Ex-Prez. Kufuor And Kweku Baako Jnr.

Some journalists who were unquestionably principled, courageous and unrelentingly opposed to abuse of political power and corruption between 1992 – 2001 and won the administration of thousands of well meaning Ghanaians including this writer were in an entirely different league with the then ruling NPP government from 2001 – 2008. They all became boot lickers and was in bed with Ex-Prez. Kufuor’s government by surprisingly attacking the then opposition NDC Party through out the 8 year rule of President Kufuor. One such Journalist is Kweku Baako, the NPP’s Propaganda In Chief and editor – in chief of the New Crusading Guide, who once stated that Rawlings has no balls in between his legs. Even though his assertion is weird and is still weird and laughable, it is his own opinion. However, per an adage in the North which states that; when you bring a maggot infested fire wood home, don’t blame the lizard for its un-announced visit to your house. I also have my opinion as to whose “under side” is to be looked at seriously to see if he has balls or not. By so saying, Kweku Baako has invited my eagle eyes to look at the “under side” of his mentor and close ally, Ex-President Kufuor to see if he has any balls at all, as compared to Former President Rawlings. Kweku Baako could say anything in defending Prez. Kufuor and that has been his pre-occupation since January, 2001 to date 2012. Kweku Baako’s father was called Kofi Baako a Former Cabinet Minister in Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s CPP government who died a pauper because of his extreme patriotism. He was a Fante by tribe and Kweku Baako is also a Fante, I don’t know, now that Prof. Atta Mills is the President of the Republic of Ghana and also a country man of Kweku Baako, I don’t know how this Journalist will now behave towards Mills. Kweku Baako, is now 80% NPP and a 20% CPP member and his late father has been turning constantly in his grave since 1992 – 2012 – How sad. I am NOT a Fante, but I supported the then Candidate Mills in 2000 as well as the RUN-OFF that year and he lost. Kweku Baako Jrn. Is a Fante but he refused to support Mills in 2000 and the RUN-OFF, and he was supporting Candidate J.A. Kufuor and he won the elections by default. In 2004, I again supported Candidate Mills and he lost that election too because Dr. Obed Asamoah, the then National Chairman of the NDC told NDC members to campaign for their Members of Parliament and leave Mills alone. He went on to select known NPP members as Polling Agents for the NDC. Kweku Baako Jnr. fully supported President Kufuor who won the 2004 elections and he became the UN-OFFICIAL Spokesman of the then ruling NPP government and was even aware of the numerous assassination attempts on the life of Rawlings by bragging openly that “Osama ” will go this year. Osama means Rawlings according to Kweku Baako. Now, between this writer and Kweku Baako, who is very principled and Correct? I leave the answer to Ghanaians and the reading public. Do you know what? Kweku Baako Jnr was a Staunch member of the June 4 Movement before allowing himself to be bought like a bag of maize by reactionary forces in the camp of the NPP led by Ex-Prez. Kufuor and Nana Akuffo Addo. How sad, the world is very strange, isn’t it dear reader? I was a very vigilant Polling Agent in 2008 as well as the Run – Off in 2009, even though I am not a Fante. Is it not a shame unto Kweku Baako Jnr. to work day and night against his own tribesman? I will campaign again and vote for Mills and my Parliamentary Candidate in 2012 for Mills to hand over in 2017 to another NDC Presidential Candidate for him to also hand over to an NDC Presidential Candidate and it will go on like that until 2028 AT ALL COST, The NPP can cry with blood falling from their green eyes because they would steal all the Official files at the various ministries to their private houses again if they happen to rule this country like they did in 2009 after leaving office. It will then come to a time that our country, Ghana will have No Archives at all. Infact, these nation wreckers are very lucky to have Professor Mills as the President of the Republic of Ghana. Kweku Baako Jnr. – Please think again and repent by coming back home. You are living in a wrong house – Is that clear? How can you support a Presidential Candidate who wants his supporters to kill innocent Ghanaians to enable him become the President of Ghana? Who will he be ruling in Ghana? It will be recalled that Former President Rawlings accused Former President Kufuor and his NPP government of paying a Journalist a whooping $10,000 a month, to do the bidden of the NPP government. This was corroborated by a media report which claimed that Kweku Baako was given $42,000 by the Kufuor led NPP government to investigate the non-existence Foreign Accounts of Former President Rawlings. Kweku Baako then decided to strip President Rawlings naked by travelling with a Diplomatic passport with body guards to march all over Europe and Africa at the expense of the Ghanaian tax payer and never found a single dollar stolen and stuffed in Foreign Accounts by the Rawlingses. Why is he now silent on Ex-Prez. Kufuor too? Yet he is all over the place – on radio and television still singing the praises of his former master – Ex-Prez. Kufuor. You see, Mr. Document, it is rather your boss, Ex-President Kufuor, who up till now lacks the “balls” in between his thighs to come face to face with his accuser of corruption, Her Excellency Madam Gizelle Kufuor Yazji, a woman who also claimed that she delivered twins with Ex-Prez. Kufuor, but the later lacks the balls to accept the fact. Therefore, if Kweku Baako is looking for persons without balls, he should first look at the underside of his mentor, and he will realize that he has no balls at all and not Former President Rawlings. Is that clear? When the NPP’s negative Propaganda Chief, Kweku Baako Jnr., on behalf of his pay masters went on a wild goose chase looking for non-existence foreign accounts of the Rawlingses and subsequently published a Fake Account Number purported to belong to the Rawlingses to that effect, Former President Rawlings did not deny ownership of the said account. He did much more than that in an unprecedented fashion by exposing the calumny of Kweku Baako and his bunch of Hang Rawlings At All Cost Crusaders in the then ruling NPP government. Can Ex-Prez. Kufuor pass the same test like Rawlings after leaving office now? It will be recalled that 98% of Ghana’s Journalists from the print and electronic media became an integral part of the NPP government which dished out thousands of dollars and pound sterlings to them – so they all described the NPP as a media friendly government because that government revoked the Criminal Libel Law which was enacted as far back as 1960 but the NPP make Ghanaians to believe that the Criminal Libel Law was en-acted by the NDC government led by President Rawlings in order to jail “innocent Journalists” because he hates Journalists.
On the Foreign Accounts Saga, Rawlings did not stop there, he went on the CNN and BBC and dared the World’s top most investigative bodies including the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in the United States of America to investigate him and if in deed, it is found out that he even has one dollar in any Foreign Account, the world should be told to shame him. Yes, this is how far Kweku Baako and his mentor Ex-Prez. Kufuor could go in order to destroy their Political Opponents but they failed woefully. Can Ex-President Kufuor also do the same like Rawlings? Answer: Capital No. Again, when the Scancem bribery allegation was made against Former President Rawlings by a Norwegian Newspaper, he took the fight to Norway where he took on that Newspaper on various forums both at the very top governmental level and in the Norwegian media among several others, and that bogus Norwegian Editor retracted that false allegation against Rawlings or he would have faced court action for libel. Now, Ex-President Kufuor’s second wife Gizelle Kufuor Yazji made a damning allegation against Ex-President Kufuor that she has details of accounts in Switzerland and England owned by him in which he has stashed away, and his second wife described them as dirty money acquired by Kufuor at the expense of the Suffering Ghanaians whilst in office. We dare Mr. Kufuor to also emulate the shinning examples of his predecessor, Former President Rawlings and call for a similar investigation to be conducted by international bodies like the FBI in order to establish the veracity or otherwise of his second wife’s claims. Will he do that? Can he ever do that? We are waiting but if he fails to do that, it means that his wife’s allegations are TRUE. There have been too many allegations of corruption made against Mr. Kufuor since his days in office and it is about time he came clean by being bold and courageous enough as Former President Rawlings has been, to dare his second wife, Gizelle Kufuor Yazji for a proof if he has nothing to hide. In a recent out burst, Ex-Prez. Kufuor claims that President Mills and his government were corrupt. In keeping with a principle he postulated whilst in office, calling on persons who made allegations of corruption against him and his NPP government officials to “SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE” from 2001 – 2008, Ghanaians had expected Mr. Kufuor to show the evidence of corruption he alleges persists in the Mills’ government but he has so far failed to give any evidence. Look here, the President of the Republic of Ghana has gone through the MILL in every sector of the economy, be it administration, tax laws, accounting, politics, public service, agriculture, the economy, teaching, Psychology, criminal law, science, international law, foreign relations, you name them, that is why he is called Mills who is now teaching the empty receptacles in the NPP how democracy and good governance must be by praising Ex-Prez. Kufuor’s NPP government which initiated development projects whenever his NDC government completes such projects. He even went the extra mile to invite Ex-Prez. Kufuor to help him cut sods at those completed projects. However, when the NPP took over from President Rawlings, Ex-Prez. Kufuor and his ministers told Ghanaians that Rawlings ruled Ghana for almost 20 years and did practical nothing, they never gave any credit to any uncompleted project initiated by the NDC under Rawlings, they rather wanted to assassinate him, jail his wife and destroy the entire NDC Party leaving the NPP as a One Party State because they falsely believe that – Ghana belong to them more than any other Political Party or tribe. Ex-Prez. Kufuor and Kweku Baako, Ghanaians are still waiting for your response. All those facts are there, and yet the NDC has turned the Gun against itself from 2009 – 2012 as if we did not sacrifice extremely before coming to power in 2009. Keep your fingers crossed. I shall return on this topic if Kweku Baako Jnr. and Ex-President Kufuor fail to respond to myquest, you will then see fire works. From Obuasi, this has been Clement Sangaparee giving the Punks and tall liars in the NPP, a perpetual heart beat.
Is any body listening? I am done. Aluta Continua! Jaanbie Iwaii.
