Let?s resettle Rawlings ? Wereko-Brobby

The Independent in a front page story, reports Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, leader and presidential candidate of the United Ghana Movement as suggesting that President Jerry Rawlings should be resettled after his tenure of office in January 2001.

Dr Wereko-Brobby told the paper that he is for ?adequate rehabilitation of President Rawlings?, conceding, however, that the President has not been that charitable to Ghana?s past heads of state.

"He must be settled properly. If he want a house, that is fine, if he does not want a house, there must be a package that he will be comfortable with", Dr Wereko-Brobbey, pleaded for President Rawlings.

According to Dr Wereko-Brobbey, the resettlement package should take place irrespective of the manner in which the President chose to come to power and the fact that he himself had not done the same for others like Dr Hilla Limann, whom President Rawlings overthrew in 1981.
