According to ex-President Rawlings, the PNDC and NDC 1 which he was the leader made a mistake by not identifying intelligent, brilliant and smart people to take over the reins of power from his administration and accused the Mills\u2019 government of indulging in corrupt practices.<\/p>\n<p>The former president eventually turned the June 4 celebration into a campaign rally for his wife\u2019s presidential bid and assuredly said \u201c<strong>the will of God will be done in the upcoming Sunyani congress<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But Kwabena Bomfeh, who was contributing to a panel discussion on <strong>Peace FM<\/strong>\u2019s \u201c<strong>Kokrokoo<\/strong>\u201d Morning show, stated that Rawlings\u2019 position is contrary to the principles of June 4th which was to preempt a coup after handing over to a civilian administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeven years in office, the army was going back to barracks without any steps having been taken to punish those who had tarnished the name of the armed forces\u2026This situation posed a threat to the continued existence of the armed forces and the stability of the country, hence the spontaneous action of June 4 to pre-empt the coup immediately after handing over to a civilian administration,\u201d Kabila quoted Mr Rawlings at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In his estimation, in so far as General Afrifa was shot because he was part of the 24th February 1966 coup d\u2019\u00e9tat against the democratic government of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the founder of the NDC ought not to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Acheampong and Akufo government had given the chance for political parties to be formed and they had started operating. Indeed parliamentary election had been held and Afrifa had been elected but the reason why Afrifa was shot was because he was part of the 24th February 1966 coup d\u2019\u00e9tat against the government of Nkrumah which was a democratic government. They wanted coup to end and never repeat itself. So by this June 4th principle, should Rawlings be walking a free man? It is normal for us to tie him and shoot him, just like Acheampong and Afrifa were shot for engaging in a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat against a constitutionally elected government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Continued here:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The National Youth Organiser of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) James Kwabena Bomfeh, believes going by the principles of June 4th, former President Rawlings deserves to be tied to the stakes and shot dead.
