A
member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has posited that it
is totally wrong for anybody to assert that President Mills has
surrounded himself with apparatchiks of questionable character.
Kwabena
Sarpong avers it is rather the president who is a hypocrite and has a
questionable personality which mirrors those of the people around him.
“It
is the man who is bad and not the people surrounding him…because if the
man is bad the people surrounding him would be bad and if the man is
good, the people surrounding him would be good...If he was a good man,
he would have stopped his appointees from using billions to buy gifts
when he himself has told Ghanaians he doesn’t take hampers. The blame
should squarely be laid at President Mills’ doorsteps and not his
appointees...Jesus Christ! Mills is a bad man, so don’t blame Aseidu
Nketia, Koku (Anyidoho) or Betty (Mould-Iddrisu),” he stated.
He
was commenting on media reports that a delegation of chiefs and
traditional rulers from the Volta Region, under the umbrella of Royals
for Peace, have conferred with the Rawlingses ostensibly to find a
solution to the strained relations between the former First Family and
President Mills.
Wondering where the group has been all this
while since the petty squabbles and internal wranglings within the NDC
began, Kwabena Sarpong, who is also a member of the NPPs Communication
Team sarcastically asked; “when Nana Konadu was humiliated at Cape
Coast, where were the Royals for Peace? When J.J Rawlings was being
verbally abused and described as the chained barking dog, did they not
hear about it or know the identities of the people involved?...What the
hell! An election is now imminent so Mills is talking about peace and
extending an olive branch…well if Rawlings doesn’t know how death is
like, he should take a closer look at a person who is deep in slumber,”
he said. |

The outspoken NPP activist, who was speaking on Oman FM,
warned Mr. Rawlings to stay clear off President Mills since his former
protégé only needed his services to win the December polls.
“Should
he (Mills) win the 2012 elections, he would show him (Rawlings) where
true power lies…Before the NDC came to power, a journalist once told me
that if there was anybody to try Rawlings in court, it would be
President Mills,” he said.
