The son of the Vice Chairperson of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anita Desoso has slammed ex-President Rawlings after he described his mother as a crook.
The former military leader described Anita Desoso, who knelt before him to apologise and beg for forgiveness on behalf of the NDC for its ‘sins’ during the 39th anniversary of the June 4 Uprising, as a “crook”, who is fond of using cunning means to get her way.
“She’s a crook. She’s lucky I don’t talk about her that much.
“What she did was pre-planned. Yes the woman on the stage, June 4, when she went on her knees”, Mr Rawlings said at a recent event.
Mr Rawlings recalled how Ms Desoso fawned over his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, to gain favour to win the Women Organiser slot of the party in the past.
“Maybe sometimes I say the inappropriate things, I should have said it there and then [that she’s a crook]”, Mr Rawlings added.
However, Franklin Dorledzi, the Son of Anita Desoso insists ex-President Rawlings has no moral rights to described her mother as a crook when the ex President himself has had several allegations leveled against him.
“This is not coming from somebody who is not holier than the Pope. This is coming from somebody whom we all know has confessed to taking $2m from Sanni Abacha, somebody whose wife has bought a factory and was sued for it. I know she wouldn’t be disturbed because that’s not what she is, I feel this is unpalatable and distasteful from an Ex-President. I’m disturbed because Mr Rawlings and his family are a people who we’ve looked up to. Most definitely I demand a retraction and apology from Mr Rawlings, but I’ll not be surprised if Mr Rawlings doesn’t apologize because we know that it’s something he finds so difficult to do and he’s human like any other person be I think that’s his weakness,” he told Starr News.

Rawlings is the biggest traitor in NDC. He supported his wife to form another political party and joined her to launch it. This was after his wife had been humiliated in an NDC primary election. Rawlings was the Chief Campaigner for NPP's Akuffo-Addo. Rawlings did not form NDC. NDC was formed and was honored with the founder's position. I am surprised the NDC has not dismissed him. What does the party lose, anyway. You are down so you should fear no fall. Remove Rawlings from the party and let him join his wife and see if he can win even one constituency in Ghana. He is an opportunist who wants to be in control at all times. Call his bluff.
Where in the young man's statement has he insulted Rawlings? Rawlings publicly insults his mother and he should not express his feelings about it? aaba! Let's get serious for once.
When Rawlings took his children to Ivy League schools in Europe and Ghanaians questioned him he insulted all of us by saying they were sponsored by his friends. Is he an honest man? He has no moral right to call the woman a crook. When Rawlings calls Kufuor a crook, we are angry and we react, but we find nothing wrong if he insults a woman because the woman is in his party. Let's be principled a little.
Guys, let us be honest for once. But for President Kufuor's pardon to Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, she could have been in jail for a criminal offence. If Rawlings was that principled and not corrupt, would he have condoned her wife using her leverage as the 1st lady and leader of the 31st Women's December Movement to acquire state properties? Did Rawlings not kill people for taking bank loans? Was she also not implicated in the murder of the 3 High Court Judges and the ex army officer? Who did not know the level of corruption of Abacha, yet Rawlings accepted USD 5 million from him (Nigeria's stolen money)? Rawlings pretends to be the cleanest man in Ghana yet he has very serious and legitimate questions to answer including allegations of mass murder, victimization of his perceived enemies, and corruption. Put yourselves in the shoes of Madam De Soso's son and stop vilifying him. Any son worth a son will fight for and protect his mother.
like mother like son. look at this one too. u want to get into a fight with papa J?
All these people now seemingly hate the Rawlings’s. Suddenly they’re coming out with stories of their wrong doings. So you knew this all along? But you were protecting them left right and center? How about you guys just leave and form your own party? Cause the ndc was made by Rawlings!
Franklin..This is not your fight at all. Please you are young,you have not been an adult before, but those fighting have been young like you many, many years ago. so leave the adults to settle their matter. Ok?
Franklin, are you insulting your grand papa? Your mom said JJ is her father. If JJ does not have moral right, then your mother has morality problem because 'no crab gives birth to a bird'. Small boy, you are also infected with immoral behavior. Next time, learn how to settle scores with the elderly.
This is not your fight. Concentrate on your school. Do go get good grades.
Young man ask your mum why she was begging JJ? JJ made your mum who she is today so give the oldman some respect wai? JJ made the coup to champion Ewe course so people like your mum will get the chance to be heard. Without JJ NDC will die a slow death like CPP. Ewes in general owns JJ some gratitude because he risked his life for them but some of them failed to take advantage of it.
