NDC was wicked to president Kufuor

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor enounced a very shuddery episode of his life as a former president, thanks to the Mills/Mahama administration's deliberate move to starve him of what the constitution stipulates he should have been given.

President Kufuor said that the NDC, for eight years, never paid his exgratia as an ex-president and that though he put in efforts to normalize the situation, he was treated like a plague by the NDC administration.

One may ask why the NPP, for the past two years, is yet to pay the former Ghanaian leader what belongs to him. The fact of the matter is that this issue hitherto was not known by the current administration, and it would have been long rectified if it has come up.

Notwithstanding this, since the revelation, the Office of the Chief of Staff has taken notice of it former President John Agyekum Kufuor, it is so stranand will decisively deal with the matter sooner than later.

Honing in on the NDC and the wicked manner in which they treated ge that these people treated the ex-President with this level of disdain but complained bitterly when Mahama's backroom staff were not being paid a little over a year after the assumption of office of the Akufo-Addo administration.

They starved Kufuor for eight years and were unwilling to go without food for even a month!

One more important thing that needs to be told the general public is the fact that the Mahama administration's wickedness was not limited to only J.A.Kufuor but tentacled to former President Jerry John Rawlings.

For the four years Mahama was president, the utility bills of Rawlings were never paid. President Akufo-Addo has settled all of them. Mahama and his charges are simply cold-hearted!
