J.J. Denies Coup Plot

The office of the former President has emphatically denied that neither Mr. Rawlings nor any of his associates is involved in a plot to destabilise the country.

A spokesperson told the paper that media claims that the posting of intelligence reports on the internet are intended to create confusion and thereby facilitate a coup may be the paranoia.

“We can say emphatically that neither the ex-President nor any of his associates is faking security reports as a means of destabilizing the country.”

“The reports in the media are without foundation. Mr. Rawlings is fully committed to the democratic experiment and would do everything possible to protect our infant democracy,” he said.

The Ghanaian media had reported that a fake security report has been posted on the Internet alleging that the Presidential security guard is indiscipline.

It also claims that the Editor of the “Insight” is being used by the former President to incite soldiers against the government.
