Jerry now with own Guards

The Ghana Palaver carries that the ex-President J.J. Rawlings has not, in anyway, accepted the replacement of his personal security guards with some unknown policemen, as reported in an Accra newspaper on Monday.

Instead, Ex-President is now being protected by private security personnel, according to NDC sources.

As indicated earlier, Flt.Lt Rawlings insists on not accepting any security men, he does not know or can't trust.

The police personnel sent to the house are still "parading" in the streets, according to the party's mouthpiece.

Meanwhile, as a humanitarian gesture, the ex-president's household has been offering free meals to the guards outside.

The gesture will also help allay the fears of observers, who are unhappy about the physical appearance of the guards, who look "half-fed'.
