RAWLINGS
FIRES MAHAMA ON JUNE 4 SAYS PARTY DID NOT LOST THE ELECTION BECAUSE OF LAME
HORSE
Former
President Jerry John Rawlings has marked the 38th anniversary of June 4
uprising with a fiery monologue castigating the erstwhile Mahama administration
which he labelled as a government of ’sickening’ greed.
Struggling
to restrain himself, the former president dismissed the view offered by his
party's 2016 presidential candidate John Mahama for the party's defeat in the
election.
The former
President had said the NDC he led into the 2016 elections was 'a lame horse'.
"If you
ride a lame horse into a race and you lose the race, your priority must be to
cure the lameness of the horse" he said last April
According to
him, the corruption of the Generals executed pales considerably when compared
to the corruption that engulfed the NDC government with endorsement of its
leaders.
"Believe
it or not the greed of today is a thousand times more than what these Generals
were executed for," he boomed.
Rawlings
during his speech, promised to refrain from his characteristic explosive
speeches. "I have decided to postpone the boom inside my stomach".
But few
minutes into the speech, the former President appeared to have reverted to his
default settings for public political speeches.
He said
under the past NDC government, some officials amassed wealth and "used
money as a political weapon to become kingmakers."
