Kufuor laments over poor government treatment

Ex-President Kufuor has expressed his displeasure with the Mills administration over the kind of treatment being meted out to him and members of his government.

“When you look at the situation, it begins to look like there has been a coup d’état. It wasn’t a coup d’état that changed government. People went to ballot and the votes were almost split equally,” he said

Speaking on BBC Network Africa programme on Thursday, Mr Kufuor said the government is vilifying him to look good in the eyes of the public.

“There is a new government in place; it wants to find its feet. Perhaps they think they must position me in a certain way so the attention of the public will be drawn to the government of the day.”

Mr. Kufuor said with the keenly contested election that brought the NDC into government, he would have expected more cooperation with the opposition than the approach being adopted.

He hopes with time the government will wake up to the reality on the ground and will treat him with respect and dignity deserving of an ex-president who has selflessly served the country with diligence and fortitude.
