PRESIDENT MILLS WOULD HAVE BEEN HUMILATED IF HE HAD GONE TO KUMASI – ABLAKWA

A Deputy Minister of Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says President Mills would have been humiliated if he had been present at the commemoration of the June 4 uprising in Kumasi on Saturday.
According to him, from what had transpired at the Jubilee Grounds on Saturday; including former President Rawlings and his entourage turning the ceremony into a campaign platform for Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, President Mills made the right decision to deliberately absent himself from the annual June 4 celebration.
Okudzeto Ablakwa says his absence notwithstanding, President Mills’ still upholds the ideologies of June 4.
The Deputy Minister tells Adom News that the ideas of June 4 which are probity, accountability and transparency were unfortunately not highlighted in the celebration.
He says the constitution of the National Democratic Congress mandates any member to celebrate the day but if the Rawlingses are going to use it as one of their campaign platforms, then they have unfortunately fallen short in understanding the true meaning of the day.
He says June 4 is bigger than Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and her husband for them to use it as a tool to undermine the reputation of other party fellows.
Commenting on the allegations of corruption level against the government by former President Rawlings during his speech, Okudzeto Ablakwa challenged former President Rawlings to come out with evidence to support his claim.
He says it would be in the interest of the nation if Mr. Rawlings comes out with evidence to support the allegations he made against some top government officials.
He reiterated that without clear evidence it will be difficult for the government or any individuals to take action against those names mentioned.

End.
