Rawlings: Why Is NDC Protecting 'Corrupt Woyome'

The Former President of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings has expressed doubt about the Mills administration�s commitment to fight corruption. Addressing a rally at Aflao on Sunday to commemorate the June 4 uprising, Mr Rawlings described the embattled Alfred Woyome as a �corrupt boy� who is being shelved by the incompetent and corrupt NDC government. Former President Rawlings said he is appalled by government�s failure to win �straightforward� court cases adding that the trend discourages him from seeking justice over some mysterious killings in the country. �A straightforward interrogation will lead us to who some of these murderers are and who the masterminds are. Mr Rawlings said. He added that �why should the government be afraid and running over the exposure of that corrupt boy, Woyome. There are more who are just corrupt or more corrupt� �How can we stop it�if we could not ask questions on straightforward cases how do I expect this government to ask questions on these mysterious killings where it is hard to even find evidence�. Meanwhile, the man at the centre of the controversial �51million judgment debt payment Alfred Agbesi Woyome is expected in court today.
