General News of Monday, 4 June 2018Source: Starrfmonline.comI don’t criticise Akufo-Addo because of NDC lies - RawlingsFormer President John Rawlings has been criticised for being 'soft' on the NPP governmentFormer President John Jerry Rawlings says the constant lies being peddled by some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about his family makes it difficult for him to criticise the current administration. The former president has been a harsh critic of the party he founded under the late President John Evans Atta Mills and later President John Mahama. This happened because Rawlings was a junior soldier in the Ghanaian Army who with other soldiers were refused to be given their salaries. The first time the public heard from Rawlings was a now legendary statement that he Rawlings had been released by the junior officers and that he was under their command. The soldiers rounded up senior military officers including three former heads of states, General F. K Akuffo, Ignatious Kutu Acheampong and Afrifa for trial.
