Seasoned journalist Kweku Baako has jabbed Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings over his historic revolutionary days in the country.
Contributing to Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Kweku Baako described Mr. Rawlings and his cohorts that engaged in coup as "political armed robbers", explaining that they robbed their way into the hearts of Ghanaians.
According to Mr. Baako, the parties that played an integral role in the various coup d'états that characterized the nation resulting in the forceful overthrow of successive governments committed acts of treason and so do not deserve an inch of respect from him.
“The lack of discipline on the part of some Khaki elements led by Rawlings, the lack of discipline; constitutional discipline and indeed once I say Khaki, it means that I’m showing some gross disrespect to them. And I mean those guys who engaged in treason. They don’t deserve my respect…They decided from day 1 that they won’t let the constitution survive. And if out of your indiscipline and greed, you commit treason, you return to tell me because the fourth Republic is stable; we should give you credit. What about those who died? Those who went into exile? Those who went to jail? What should we do for them…it took blood, tears and sweat to restore democracy in Ghana”.
With their leader being Ex-President Rawlings, the seasoned journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that these political armed robbers instituted the indemnity clause in Ghana's constitution in order to provide legal protection against their crimes and exempt them from any future punishment.
To him, the indemnity clause must be reviewed because it helped the "unlicenced" political actors who engaged in the revolution to be left off the hook; he however doesn't see how best the clause can be removed from the constitution stressing it shouldn't have even been enshrined in the constitution in the first place.
“That’s why the political armed robbers when they’re exiting put in the indemnity clauses…When they’re exiting then they insert and they smuggled the indemnity clauses into the constitution to protect themselves…Coup makers are political armed robbers”, he fumed.

Massa; I cannot understand why some commentators seem to miss the crucial point about Kweku Baako's comments about JJ Rawlings so called revolution and treasonal act ; the point here is that JJ Rawlings ; Gen Kotoka and any soldiers that staged a coup in Ghana committted TREASON !!!!!!; the worse part of JJ Rawlings treasonal act was that he staged 2 coups under the false guise of a revolution and overthrew an elected government ; JJ Rawlings was a fraudester and a typical ewe tribalist;***barred word*** ***barred word*** minded thiff who eventually turned round cementing 'steeeling' and fraud in Ghana and this idea that JJ Rawlings left us democracy is a load of BULL/.........../Sheet!!!!!!; what JJ Rawlings left Ghanaians is a creative bunch of bandits and armed politician robbers called the NDC whose modu oparandi is to CREATE ; LOOT and SHARE ; this is a fatherless child who shouts on roof tops about corruption and democracy but then accepts $5million bribe from Sanni Abacha from Nigeria and claims he has no knowlegde of what happened to the CASH !!!!!!; this is a confused full ***barred word*** minded ewe man who claims he prefers dictatorship to social democracy but today claims he admires Putin of Russia forgetting that the idiotic full ruled Ghana for over 20 years ; murdered people to correct stilling but today the same corruption virus is even WORSE !!!!!; Kweku Baako's point is a classic logical comparative analysis of JJ Rawlings unnecessary treasonal act which some people do not seem to understand .
Kwaku pls help yourself by forgiving Mr Rawlings. Bitterness is a killer. If u are mad at coup makers pls extend it to others before Rawlings and stop the childiish behaviour.
I think what Baako was stating he is right Rawlings and his cohorts are armed robbers. They stole and and insert a clause in the constitution to cover their evil deeds.They have to change the clause in the constitution. Rawlings nobody should respect you because you don't believe God.shut your mouth evil.
KWAKU BAAKO HAS ALWAYS MADE HIS HATRED FOR RAWLINGS PUBLIC. BUT NOW I THINK HE WILL EVEN HATE HIM IN DEATH. SHAME. FORGIVE, AND LEG GO. IT IS THE FASTEST WAY OF HEALING.
THIS KWEKU BAKO IS AN ***barred word*** MAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE TOO KNOW. WHEN YOU WERE SHARING 1 KENKEY WITH YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR WHOLE SIBLINGS,HAVE U FORGOTTEN SO SOON? HOW JJ TOOK GHANA FROM RUBBISH AND POLISH IT WITH THE RIGHT ECONOMY AND ESTABLISHED DEMOCRACY IN GHANA THRU HIS HARDWORK AND COMMITMENT,BCOS UR FATHER WAS VERY CORRUPT AND JJ DEALT WITH HIM? THAT'S WHY YOU HATED RAWLINGS UP TILL DATE. KWEKU, YOU ARE SUPER UNGRATEFUL, WITH ALL THE MONEY YOU GET FROM NPP, YOU STILL REMAIN LIKE FIGURE ONE,VERY CORRUPT ***barred word*** LIKE YOU HAVE GUT TO TALK ABOUT JJ, CAN YOU STEP WHERE HE HAS STEPPED IN LIFE?WHO ARE YOU? IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, THEN GO AND COMMIT SUICIDE, YOU ARE A CONFUSED MAN. YOU MAY HATE RAWLINGS BUT THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT HIM, HE IS A STATESMAN, HE IS ICON OF DEMOCRACY IN GHANA, AN ICON OF ECONOMIC STABILITY, AN ICON OF HONOUR AND INTEGRITY, WHAT ELSE? KEEP YOUR DIRTY MOUTH SHUT AND GIVE US A BREAK!
