Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako Jnr. says the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) was founded on "fraud" and "born out of an illegality."
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's Morning show, Kweku Baako Jnr. stated emphatically that the founder of the party, Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings and his executives during the formation of the NDC, "exploited incumbency" and violated the laws of the nation to set up the party.
According to him, but for the illegal activities perpetuated by former President Rawlings and his cohort, the establishment of the NDC would have been hampered.
Addressing issues regarding the influence or otherwise of Mr. Rawlings in the NDC, Mr. Baako stressed that President Rawlings' dominance in the party has dwindled because the NDC has grown to be an organized political party.
He recounted that the party has now registered with the Electoral Commission, therefore having the mandate to operate as a political party.
“Jerry Rawlings, when he was taking part to constitute what they call NDC; he was still a serving military officer violating the military laws of the country as well as the national laws. Take it from me! He was perpetuating fraud and deceit; perpetuating illegality. They used State resources to sponsor that party," the veteran journalist asserted.
In terms of organization, Mr. Baako posited that the founder of the National Democratic Party (NDP) Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings is a better Organizer than her husband, Mr. Rawlings.
To him, Mr. Rawlings has lost his influence because he failed to adapt to the new growth of the NDC, and added that the myth that he (Rawlings) is the "Alpha and Omega of the party" has lost its saltiness. |
