Rawlings, Wayo, The Two Stooges Are 'Playing' The Andanis

Sarpong, Justice

When you have a President who has no clue as how to wield his Presidential powers and is ruling through his kakistocrat proxies, you ends up with clowns like Wayo and Rawlings making the headlines.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is the King. We can use this popular saying to reflect what is going on in Ghana at the moment and say, In the land of cowards and dumb Politicians, the two illiterate stooges, Wayo and Rawlings have the stage to themselves as astute Politicians. The two stooges are taking advantage of the Andanis misery to advance their political objectives.

Let's start with Kofi Wayo and his stupid braggadocio about having Rawlings forced to provide the evidence he supposedly have, failure according to Wayo which should resullt in Rawlings arrest. Below is a quote from Wayo;

"He urged the police to drag ex-President Rawlings from wherever he is and question him on the Yendi tragedy. Mr. Wayo said the former president must be forced to provide the evidence or information he claims to have or must be put in jail for lying to the State."

Wayo, as Mills supporter is subtly defending the Mills administration cowardice to call Rawlings to the stand and forcing him to turn the so called tape in as Prosecution exhibit and questioning Rawlings on the witness stand as how he obtained the tape which could have helped the government in bolstering its case against the 15 accused people who were set free because of lack of evidence.

I am not a Rawlings admirer but you can't set the Police on him when all the government could have done was to have called him as a witness. If Rawlings refused to heed to the government call, then the court will issue a subpoena writ to him to appear in court failure to do so which will lead to an arrest. Wayo as part of this Mills administration is passing the buck for the government's failure to do its job and blaming Rawlings for it.

Wayo's call for Rawlings arrest is popular but lacks any backing from the law when Rawlings has not refused to turn his evidence in. The government has not demanded it neither has he been called to be a witness at any court and refused so this Wayo's comedic spastic rantings shows how pusillanimous Wayo is.

Now turning my attention to Rawlings, how can he accuse the government for failing to prosecute the suspected culprits when he fails to turn in voluntarily the evidence he supposedly have that can reveal the real killers. Now Rawlings is complaining like a punk that he is because the whole country is catching up to him and his lies. According to Rawlings, it is the government of his own party that is making him look like a liar.

"He said the failure of the government to successfully prosecute the Ya- Na murder case and bring justice to the people of Dagbon, made him appear like a liar in the eyes of both local and international observers."

Rawlings, you are not looking like a liar, you have been a liar from June 4th when your said revolution was nothing but lies to improve your economic situation at the time and camouflaged the armed robbery you perpetrated on the masses as a revolution. You have used lies to flummox the poor qnd illitertes in Ghana who see you as a Messiah but the devil incarnate that you really is.

"Former President Rawlings reiterated: 93I have a detailed fact about the killing of the Ya Na" and promised to make it available at the appropriate time."

Rawlings, when will it be the appropriate time? The government is running out of suspected accused killers of the Ya Na because two people were set free during the NPP administration and now 15 people, so when will it be appropriate for you to turn the evidence in? If you really care about finding the killers of the Ya NA, don't you think now is the best time to turn it in before the government runs out of suspects? Rawlings, I know why you don't want to turn the phantom tape in because there is no such tape. I can even bet my yearly whataburger salary and prescience you about your so called suspects. Kuffour is your number one suspect and the rest of his cabinet as you accused the same people as being responsible for the murders of the 34 women during your administration.

I am lost for words how the Andanis with a lot of educated people can allow themselves to be deceived by an illiterate conman like Rawlings. How the Andani chiefs are being deceived by Rawlings with his empty promises is beyond me. Are the Andanis aware Rawlings is using them as a springboard for his wife's Presidential campaign? I can tell the Andanis what Rawlings means by releasing the tape or his evidence at the appropriate time. The appropriate time will be when the NDC is about to hold its congress to choose its Presidential candidate and that will be the time Rawlings will name his NPP political opponents as the Ya Na killer and promise the Andanis to back his wife who will jail the so called NPP Politians as the Ya Na killer. Is it so complex for the Andanis to figure this yahoo by the name Rawlings out? How long are the Dagombas going to allow Rawlings to toy with them?Andanis, demand the so called tape or evidence from this clown or make him a persona non grata in Dagombaland failing to heed to that warning which might lead to him getting a Dagomba royal treatment, royal arse beating.
