Former President Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings has described President John Agyekum Kufuor as one of the worst “constitutional terrorist” he has ever come across.
According to him, when handed over power to Ex President Kufour in 2001, he was tired of ruling the country for 19 years and had little energy left to rule again but it was something he looked forward to as well.
Mr. Rawlings in interview with Kwaku Sakyi-Addo on Asaase Radio said “Let me be blunt with you, the foolishness started but it was something that we had to put up with and we did. First 4 years was really bad and I hope enough people will see what I’m talking about,”
The Former President on his reply to what was really bad at that time said “the persecution, the corruption and the killing that was going on, in Kufuor’s government. “I mean right now as we sit here, I would wish i could shut my mouth about anything respectful, or anything negative about the late Mill’s, John Mahama and the current President.
“And I’m saying so because, in this lifetime of mine [political activities], that man was one of the worst constitutional terrorists I’ve ever come across,”
If I have to criticize or expose this man once in a while, and that appears to be earning him public sympathy, then I don’t see why I should criticize people who have committed fewer offences,” Rawlings observed.
