Rawlings, Where Are Your Former Comrades Part 2

Former Chairman Rawlings, Where Are Your Former Comrades Since 1982 To Date 2012? - Part 2

A revolution is launched to change the attitude and perception of people towards society. It makes them aware of the roles they are to play in society for the UPLIFTMENT OF HUMAN VALUES and FOR HUMAN PROGRESS. Did Ghana really go through a real revolutionary change for 10 years? Is it Yes or No? Read on and see whether you can get an accurate answer to the above question.
The country’s administration did NOT WANT to co-operate with the revolutionary governments of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) in 1979 and the Provisional National Defence Council – (PNDC) in December 1981, because both governments came to ensure that tax dodgers paid taxes to the State, especially during the AFRC era in 1979, where most businessmen and women rushed to pay all their tax arears in full which were piled up for over 6 years to the State at ago. After the three month old House Cleaning Exercise by the AFRC and the subsequent hand over by Rawlings to Dr. Hilla Limann on 24th Sept, 1979, business returned as usual where “Kalabule” = corruption was renamed “Jenabu” under Dr. Hilla Limann’s PNP government from September 1979 to December 30th 1981. Instead of carrying out the House Cleaning Exercise that was started by Jerry Rawlings as promised by Dr. Limann in Parliament House during the handing over ceremony, Limann rather decided to use the media to destroy all the gains of June 4 and made several attempts to assassinate Rawlings and Captain (rtd) Kojo Tsikata. Most members of the erstwhile AFRC Military Junta including Major (rtd) Boakye Djan had to fly into Ghana on several occasions to organize press conferences periodically to set the records straight as the media in Ghana sought to destroy all the gains of June 4 though negative reportage.’
The most notorious news paper was the “Palaver Tribune”, then edited by Mr. Chris Asher who styled himself as the “Generalissimo Against Coups in Ghana in 1980 but was the FIRST COWARD to cross the border into neigbouring Togo when the 31st December revolution was launched. Therefore it is a fact that we still have people who are bearing the scars of days gone by especially the brutal revolutionary years all led by Jerry Rawlings. Ghanaians had once elected a government twice with Rawlings as the President of the Republic which they would rather not had seen in power at all. It was major (rtd) Boakye Djan who described Jerry Rawlings as “The Walking Skeleton” when the 31st December revolution was launched. When the PNDC returned to constitutional rule in 1992 Boakye Djan again described the NDC as a “Bastard party” and yet he is a Parliament Candidate of the “Bastard NDC party” at Jaman South or is it North – I can’t tell.

The above patriotic comrades were the original cadres who formed the PNDC military cum civilian cabinet headed by Rawlings for the 10 years that the PNDC lasted in Ghana. If civilians had not been appointed and added to the PNDC government, it will not have lasted for 3 years as we had over 15 coup attempts against the PNDC government which were all foiled. They all deserved National Awards and Laurels but they had none.

31. Bed Zieden – he broke away and returned – All those who broke away while several hardworking cadres of the NDC took French leave from the NDC all left because of their BITTER DISAGREEMENT with Jerry Rawlings, so Rawlings must re-adjust himself or have himself to blame in the near future. Is that clear? To add insult to injury, Jerry Rawlings has now become extremely unpredictable in the NDC, I mean, why?
