Former President J.A Kufuor is livid over comments by his counterpart JJ Rawlings that he softened his stance on prosecuting a son of former Speaker of Parliament Peter Ala Adjetey.
“The 31st December Movement suffered bankruptcy in supporting Atta Mills. How many of us bothered to show up in court to offer her moral support in recognition of the foundation she laid in leading the women from the PNDC to the NDC?
“During that trial, Peter Ala Adjetey, the then Speaker of Parliament, whose son, NDC’s well-fed Larry Adjetey, was charged together with my wife, threatened Kufuor that if he did not drop the ‘false’ charge against his son, he would personally go to court to defend his son.
Kufuor dropped his charges.
“How many of these qualities of principled solidarity did we demonstrate towards our own? Instead, people got rewarded with appointments by denigrating and trying to destroy some of us. What money did I not borrow to assist some of our colleagues and comrades who were suffering financially under Kufuor’s regime? Those debts are still on my head today,” Rawlings said in an interview with the state-owned Daily Graphic.
Kufuor has denied Rawlings’ assertion, saying “there is no truth whatsoever in this allegation. I wonder what ails Rawlings to make him always try to impugn my integrity in his interviews.
“It is not true that I tried to prosecute Larry Adjetey but relented because his father, Peter, threatened me.”
He added: “The circumstances of his (Rawlings) wife’s (Nana Konadu’s) trial is a matter of public record, available for anybody who cares to verify. Rawlings should stop posturing as the only person of integrity and truth.”
“If he wants to continue to blow trumpets from rooftops about his integrity and incorruptibility, let him do so, but he should leave Kufuor alone,” the former president said in a statement.

This lose ayigbe/ewe 'DOG' JJ Rawlings should STOP his classic toxic way of attempting to tell us what he considers to be the 'TRUTH' when it suits him because the truth is a subjective word and can mean so many things to ediots like JJ Rawlings ; for me JA Kufour should just IGNORE THIS Ewe/ayigbe reptile because JJ Rawlings is from the ewe stock besides most Ewes are lyers ; it is in their DNA !!!!!!; JJ Rawlings is just attempting to play his old classic political card again because Nana Addo is in power the man he said will not be President over his dead body the trick is that ; this time he has decided not to attack the sitting President Nana Addo but rather attempted to divert attention on past President Kuffour ; Why is JJ Rawlings not criticing Jon Mahama and these NDC kriminials But Kuffour using the word TRUTH as his weak weapon to attack Kuffour because he knows Nana Addo is a smart guy and street mafia guy who knows all the political tricks of JJ Rawlings ; MINE ADVISE TO KUFFOUR JUST TELL JJ RAWLINGS TO GO AND MASTERBATE AND STOP WASTING OUR TIME WITH STORIES ABOUT KUFFOUR BESIDES NANA ADDO SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THESE JUNE 4th SO CALLED REVOLUTION CELEBRATIONS and introduce a celebration for the BIG SIX WHO FOUNDED OUR NATION GHANA !!!!!!
Vintage JJ, testing waters to see if he can isolate Kuffour for bashing whilst praising Nana Addo, but the NPP are smatter than he JJ thinks. The NPP would not sit down for him to do to Kuffour what he has been doing to NDC. As for the NDC, they happily accept that they have a founder who can insult them, attack them, hound them and undermine to lose power and continue undermining them in the opposition.
what he said is true. JAK you were scared
