Former President J.A Kufuor is livid over comments by his counterpart JJ Rawlings that he softened his stance on prosecuting a son of former Speaker of Parliament Peter Ala Adjetey.
“The 31st December Movement suffered bankruptcy in supporting Atta Mills. How many of us bothered to show up in court to offer her moral support in recognition of the foundation she laid in leading the women from the PNDC to the NDC?
“During that trial, Peter Ala Adjetey, the then Speaker of Parliament, whose son, NDC’s well-fed Larry Adjetey, was charged together with my wife, threatened Kufuor that if he did not drop the ‘false’ charge against his son, he would personally go to court to defend his son.
Kufuor dropped his charges.
“How many of these qualities of principled solidarity did we demonstrate towards our own? Instead, people got rewarded with appointments by denigrating and trying to destroy some of us. What money did I not borrow to assist some of our colleagues and comrades who were suffering financially under Kufuor’s regime? Those debts are still on my head today,” Rawlings said in an interview with the state-owned Daily Graphic.
Kufuor has denied Rawlings’ assertion, saying “there is no truth whatsoever in this allegation. I wonder what ails Rawlings to make him always try to impugn my integrity in his interviews.
“It is not true that I tried to prosecute Larry Adjetey but relented because his father, Peter, threatened me.”
He added: “The circumstances of his (Rawlings) wife’s (Nana Konadu’s) trial is a matter of public record, available for anybody who cares to verify. Rawlings should stop posturing as the only person of integrity and truth.”
“If he wants to continue to blow trumpets from rooftops about his integrity and incorruptibility, let him do so, but he should leave Kufuor alone,” the former president said in a statement.

REMEMBER THAT RAWLINGS IS A BASTARD HENCE, UNSTABLE!!!!!!!!
RAWLINGS ENVIES KUFOUR TOO MUCH. IT'S ALL BECAUSE APART FROM DR KWAME NKRUMAH, KUFOUR IS THE BEST AND GENUINE PRESIDENT GHANA HAS HAD. RAWLINGS' PRESIDENCY WAS 'GUN PRESIDENCY' AND GUNS DON'T THINK. RAWLINGS DESTROYED GHANABY MAKING GHANA HIPIC, WHAT A SHAME, BOGUS RAWLINGS. ANY ***barred word*** CAN RULE A COUNTRY AT GUN POINT!!!!!!!
Papa Kufour pls. take it cool we all know your legacy in this country when it comes to good gorvenors. We don't need anyone to tell as, leave it to the good people of Ghana and the world to judge.
JJ is damn scared of Nana Ado, whatever his wife tells him to come and spew he does just that, he has bee all over Kuffour's neck since Kuffour's reign yet he keeps praising Nana Ado who has no achievements to show. He love failure and hate successes because he want to be seen as the only one who achieved something for Ghana. All leader in Ghana did better than him, Mahama did better than within the 3 years than Rawlings 21 years, Kuffour did better than Rawlings, even Mills was better. JJ is just a nuisance who will castrate Nana Ado too. Watch out! This man ruled Ghana for 21 brutal years yet with very little achievements to show yet he thinks he is the saint of Ghana. Any person given the opportunity to rule Ghana for 21 years will do much better than JJ. He wasted Ghana's time in everything yet still has the guts to talk.
please tell him for us. We're tired of JJ and his family
J J IS NOW UNSTABLE. HE IS FRIGHTENED BY AKUFFO ADDO' POPULARITY. HE IS LOOKING A FOR A ROOM TO ATTACK NPP TO RESONATE WITH NDC BUT HE CANNOT FIND ONE. THE MAN IS RESTLESS AS HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN.
He was scared of ur mum or dad? awuraa go and read well to understand what the issue is about and stop commenting because others are commenting
Very soon Akuffo Addo will be his next chiwing stick, he is intentionally praising nana from the beginning so that he will later bash him. He thinks he is the most holiest. NPP in opposition were happy when he ignorantly bashes his own little boys who were using their sharp teeth to defend him from NPP oppression, little did they know that the cameleon would later on turn the silly gun on them.
Kufuor shd not worry , this a plan by rawlings to take charge of the ndc.. He must start attacking kuffuor n d npp. Am really surprised people can see how selfish rawlings is. Why ddt he attack kuffuor during d reign o the ndc Why now? He wants to rule the NDC period. Hes a fox. This is jux beginning
This is a strategy;-I am dirty, but Kuffour is also not clean. Sickening!!!
