HELP, AN NKRUMAIST IS DYING

According to the story, a very prominent Nkrumaist, whose name is being withheld, has been very ill for over nine months and is slowly dying because of his inability to raise ?5 million to pay his medical bills.

According to the paper, the man risked his life in 1967 in an attempt to restore the Convention People's Party (CPP) to power. He is now suffering from a heart and kidney ailment at home because the hospital authorities have refused to continue his treatment on account of non-payment of his huge bills. The paper stated that, the man fell out of job when the Rawlings regime dismissed him in 1984. The paper added that, the man still maintains his ties with his old comrades in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) such as Mr. Kofi Totobi Quakyi, head of National Security and Mr. Sarpong Boateng, a presidential staffer.
