It will specifically talk about our struggles to win the 2008<br \/>\nelections and afterwards,\u201d the former President revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have titled the book<br \/>\n\u2018The Triumph of Evil\u2019 and I am making frantic efforts to get it launched for<br \/>\neverybody to see and know what really happened in the party after attaining<br \/>\npolitical power and afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe book will make<br \/>\nserious discoveries and some of the bad deeds that happened in the NDC,<br \/>\nespecially after we were able to win political power in 2008,\u201d Mr. Rawlings<br \/>\nsaid, attracting wild applause from his audience.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, the NDC<br \/>\nfounder said the book\u2019s content would open cobwebs, which would not augur well<br \/>\nfor the opposition party \u201cso some top NDC people have been begging me not to<br \/>\nlaunch the book\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rawlings, who<br \/>\nseemed like making mockery of the NDC, said \u201cfear and panic has already gripped<br \/>\nsome NDC leading members,\u201d who fear the book would adversely affect the<br \/>\nfortunes of the party during the 2020 polls.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the<br \/>\nbook also talked at length about how some people managed to use money to get<br \/>\nhold of the party, thereby relegating justice, probity and accountability, which<br \/>\nare the principles on which the party stands, to the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey monetised the<br \/>\nelectoral process so that they would keep you broke whilst they would stay in<br \/>\npower with their cronies as they enjoy for you to suffer,\u201d the NDC founder<br \/>\npointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on other<br \/>\npressing national issues, Mr. Rawlings said he doesn\u2019t feel happy and<br \/>\ncomfortable, especially when he sees some wealthy and influential people in<br \/>\nsociety live their life as if they are above the law.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the<br \/>\nvarious institutions of state should work without interference so that anybody,<br \/>\nwho would break the law, would be arrested and made to face the consequences as<br \/>\nprescribed by the laws of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe domineering class<br \/>\nshould not be made to live above the law because a domineering class could<br \/>\neasily be corrupted. The domineering class doesn\u2019t live above the law in the<br \/>\nWest and it should be replicated here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Some top-notch NDC members including the party\u2019s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Prof. Joshua Alabi, and other party members from all the 16 regions in the country attended the event at Ejisu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FROM I.F.
