Also,  the former President did not visit the mortuary after his trip to the  police station. He went to the mortuary before going to the police  station. That fact was also clearly stated in the release.<br \/>\nThe  issue of suspicious incidents on the motorway is on the ascendency and  that is the only motivation for the personal interest shown by Flt Lt  Rawlings. Indeed he was surprised that though the story had broken at  the Legon University campus for several days and was a major topic of  discussion, the media had failed to pick it up.<br \/>\nIt is  unfortunate that commercial interests and petty political biases have  fed your imagination into twisting the basic facts of the suspicious  death of a Ghanaian whose family and friends would be wondering why the  simple facts of a terrible tragedy have been given a twist by an  irresponsible report.<br \/>\nWe demand as a right, a verbatim  publication of this rejoinder and a retraction of the unfortunate lie in  your report. The family of Richard Yakah deserves fairness and justice,  not a twisting of facts to create the impression that the deceased\u2019s  death is gaining prominence because he is related to President Rawlings.<br \/>\nYours Sincerely<br \/>\nKofi Adams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REJOINDER: JJ\u2019s Boy Killed Dear Editor, The attention of the Office of President Rawlings has been drawn to your lead story of Monday January 10, 2011 captioned, \u201cJJ\u2019s Boy Killed\u201d.
