I won't attack Rawlings again - Ken Agyapong

Assin Central Member of Parliament, Mr Kennedy Agyapong has praised former President, Jerry John Rawlings for being a genuine and very objective person in his submission after Woyome's verdict.

The man at the centre of the Ghc51.2million judgment debt, Alfred Agbesi Woyome has been described by the former President as a thief after he was acquitted and discharged by an Accra High Court.

The former President addressing the family of W.O. (Warrant Officer) 1 Isaac Tetteh, (former bodyguard of Rawlings) in his house, vented his anger over the ruling and questioned the ability of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to fight corruption.

Commenting on the issue on Accra-based Okay FM, Mr Ken Agyapong said former President Rawlings has proved that he was very objective and has the interest of the country at heart with the way he condemned the NDC government for setting Woyome free.

“Rawlings has proved to me that he is genuine and honest person; I will not say anything about him again. I have trusted him for the comment he made about the ruling and the role NDC played in the Woyome saga...I salute him for being objective in this case; he is frustrated but I now know he really loves his country genuinely after listening to the tape,” he professed.

Mr Agyapong added that though he was not God, Mr. Rawlings must be commended for showing that he loves the country.

He again commended former President Rawlings for not attacking the judge who presided over the Woyome case but rather his own ruling NDC government for the action they took to make Woyome got off the hook.
