Mr Rawlings, Go And Buy Your Own Furniture, Haba?

How long is Rawlings going to stay on welfare? This man has been living on poor Ghanaian taxpayers since he left Achimota Secondary school about fifty years ago.

"Rawlings: I'm waiting for furniture to complete Ridge residence" Huh!?

Is this kleptomaniac murderer really serious? This man has been preaching, pontificating and sermonizing about accountability and responsibility but he doesn't even want to be responsible for his own care. At the time this administration is finding it hard to pay poor government workers, this man who got five million dollars bribe from Mills camouflaged in settlement debt nonsense is demanding from the government to furnish his mansion with furniture? What is wrong 'KORAA' about this mugwump and furniture?

The same man that stole plane seats to furnish his apartment before he took AK-47 on an armed robbery spree he called revolution to steal Ghanacan, UTC properties in Greater Accra region including warehouses and 543 acres of land, a state hotel he hid behind an Irish businessman to steal from the state paid for through SSNIT funds costing taxpayers more than twenty million dollars is still demanding us to buy him furniture. Can Rawlings contact his former girlfriend one Miss Cotton from Atlanta USA whom he gave twenty million dollars for rice farming that did not yield even one grain of rice to buy him furniture to furnish his mansion?

Mr Rawlings, get off from welfare, you have stayed on welfare too long to educate your four children at the best of schools in United Kingdom and USA, go and buy your own furniture. Have you ever bought anything from your own salary? We have been buying you everything including the shirt on your fat stomach since nineteen(19) "KOJO HOOHOO" and you need to get rid of your dependency syndrome because we have reached a point we cannot afford to pay for your demands.

What kind of furniture do you need, Mr Rawlings? I hope you are not demanding imported furniture from `Europe Europe or United States of America. Are you demanding home made furniture like the one near Manhyia Palace made by Mr Kwaadee and his experts craftmen from Keta? I don't even think we can afford that so start counting your pennies and buy your own furniture or you can get your sons in law who living with your beautiful daughters to pass the collection plate around and buy you a furniture. Is Mr Mensah, the son of B.A mensah listening? Your father in law needs a bed and dining hall furniture, ok?

"It's a pity that it has taken so long even under Mills' regime. It took almost about two years to start work. We are still at [refurbishing] it. I mean we have got the curtains in. Let's hope the government can bring in the necessary furniture"

Did my taxes pay for your curtains too? Oh!! my God, this man has no shame. Rawlings killed people who took less than who he took and continue taking and called them corrupt and thieves he seems to think it is his divine right to take everything for free. The same man who took a fleet of seventeen cars when leaving office and collard five government houses and walled in as his permanent residence. How can anybody house burn down totally and we did not see charred skeletons of furniture, Fridges, entertainment centers etc? It seems everything in that house was taken away before the house burnt down. How did Rawlings household manage to drive at least ten cars away before the fire consumed the whole mansion?

Rawlings is becoming a bum or at best a hobo on the conscience of Ghanaians and he needs to go on a speech tour and make his own money if he can get some companies or other countries to buy into his booming nonsense. Has he spent the Abacha five million dollars already? Mr Rawlings, have mercy on poor Ghanaians and go and buy your own furniture,your welfare coupon has expired, haba?
