Where Did Ghana Come From (Continued)?

President Hilla Liman paid huge amounts
of money to the AFRC members including Captain Boakye
Djan to enable them pursue further military courses
abroad. The only soldier who refused to collect any
pesewa from the PNP government was Flt. Lt. J.J.
Rawlings who was prematurely retired on the instructions
of the British government through Dr. Liman.
A revolution is an organic constructional
process in which the old edifice is DISMANTLED brick by
brick, and a new house built in its place, stone by
stone. This process takes generations. It cannot be the
task of a CLIQUE, to remove that system in a period of
FOUR YEARS. To remove the old and CORRUPT system may
take only ONE MORNING. But to eradicate HABITS and
ATTITUDES that characterize and facilitate the operation
of that system is a TASK FOR DEDICATED BUILDERS. It
takes DECADES and MANY GENERATIONS.
Now, did June 4 and the 31st December
revolutions accomplish that feat? These two revolutions
started off violently and with iron fists and many lives
were lost, many Cadres were dislocated for decades. Our
revolutionary leaders started AMASSING WEALTH Left and
Right, Front and Back in Ghana and ended up by telling
the revolutionary organs at the grassroots to take the
REVOLUTION while they took the MONEY in 1992.
Therefore, the drama of the seizure of
power is only a drama. The building of that POWER to
create a new society is DULL, HUM DRUM, and completely
UNREWARDED. Its Heroes are always anonymous, selfless,
but Tough and Resolute. These are the real combatants
and constructors of the New Liberty.
A revolution must carry along with it
always the Broad masses of the people. It cannot bend
BACKWARD to appease and placate the OLD CORRUPT.
MINORITY CENTRES OF POWER by believing that these
centres have accepted the NEW ORDER.
Jerry Rawlings had the opportunity on
31st December 1981 to use the real combatants including
this writer for 10 years and over BUT FINALLY DUMPED
THEM ALL. The builders of the NEW LIBERTY are the
ORDINARY PEOPLE, particularly those in the rural areas
in our context, whose majority is still HIGH. They are
provided leadership by the dedicated skilled managers
whose sense of nationalism is unquestionable. Jerry
Rawlings had such skilled professional managers during
the 31st December revolution who provided leadership
with dedication and their sense of nationalism were
unquestionable.

Agyei current - National Chairman of the ruling NDC
government 39) Mr. Peter Nanfuri – former IGP 40) Mr.

48) Mr. Alex Bempong Marfo 49) Mr. Kwame Adjimah who was
gunned down together with 4 others by a PNDC member in
my presence at the Border Guards’ guard room on June
19th 1983. 50) Rev. Father Damuah 51) Bishop Joop Visser
52) Nana Akuako Sarpong 53) Mr. Nuamah Donkor 54) Mr.
Fui Tsikata 55) Nana Oduro Numapau 56) Col. J.Y. Asaase
57) Mr. Nyamekye Marfo 58) Dr. Tony Aidoo 59) W.O II
Salifu – former Western regional organizing assistant
and 60) Prof. John Evans Atta Mills current sitting
President of the Republic of Ghana just to mention only
a few.
In 1996, he was head of the Internal
Revenue Service and Jerry Rawlings plucked him from that
position and made him his Vice Presidential candidate
and on leaving office in 2000, he told Cadres that Mills
is very honest and a man of integrity so he IMPOSED MILS
on the NDC party BY FORCE and all dissenting Cadres were
just picked and dumped into BNI cells and Military
guardrooms nationwide because of Mills’ nomination by
Jerry Rawlings.
Rawlings went on to campaign for Mills
for three good times until he was finally elected
President of Ghana. Then, Rawlings want Ghanaians and
his Cadres who he used and dumped several times to
rather abandon Prez. Mills in the middle of the road and
cause his defeat in 2012 for “that short man” according
to Rawlings to become President on the ticket of the NPP
against his own party of which he is still the FOUNDER.
I mean, why is it so? As a Cadre from
June 4 1979 to date, the above ladies and gentlemen that
I listed numbering 60 are not the only people known to
me personally, but there are several others who I
vividly remember and I will surely name several others
in my next article. Jerry Rawlings must know that (1) He
is still the Common Enemy of the NPP (2) He is still the
“Murderer” in the eyes of the NPP and not a Saint as the
NPP claim he is now (3) The NPP only want him to destroy
the NDC for them to grab power (4) If Rawlings succeeds
in destroying the NDC for the NPP to take over (God
forbid) he will be the number one TARGET if Nana Akuffo
Addo “that short man” who he (Rawlings) now know his
real name (5) Rawlings will continue to attack the NPP
under Nana Akuffo Addo too, and in re-action, Akuffo
Addo will fake a coup attempt against Rawlings and
detain him. When that happens, NOBODY in the NDC camp
will sympathize with him at all – you mark my words.
Apart from those who died in the above
list that I provided, a good number of Rawlings’ Cadres
are serving under President Mills government today and
these people are branded as TRAITORS including Prez.
Mills by Jerry Rawlings – Where does Rawlings want to
take the NDC to? Does he think we are still in a
revolutionary era, don’t he know that there are always
UNDER HAND dealings in every constitutional government
including his time as President of Ghana or what? The
Rawlingses must re-adjust themselves or enter the Hall
Of Shame instead of the Hall Of Fame – Is that clear?
Where are all the beginners of the 31st December
revolution? Keep your fingers crossed. I shall return in
the final part of this article. I am done. Jaambie Iwaii.
Aluta Continua!
