EIGHTH CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AWHOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

The statistical data demonstrates beyond every doubt that President Rawlings, Dr. Obed Asamoah, and Martin Amidu, the running mate for the 2000 elections delivered their regions resoundingly to the NDC while Professor Mills and his cohort of talkative-only puppet masters doomed his election defeat by failing to deliver their regions to the NDC. The saying is that “monkey no fine but heem mother lakam” so how does the monkey blame others for its abysmal defeat when its own mother voted against and rejected it at the polls?

SEVENTH CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AHWOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

The processes culminating in finally accepting the offer to be the running mate to Professor Mills and the formal confirmation of the nomination by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NDC the same night, demonstrates beyond any doubt that the assertion that a cohort of puppet masters of Vice President Mills to whom the author belonged calculatingly dangled before Martin Amidu a running mate bait which he excitedly swallowed, was and is a pernicious falsehood. The reasons assigned to Ghanaians by Professor Mills for identifying and nominating his running mate also negates the bait dangling fabrications of the author who holds himself out as a Professor of Law.

SIXTH CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AWHOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

Kwamena Ahwoi became so addicted to concocting the data for Working with Rawlings that he had to continue doing so, and to fabricate the choice of Martin Amidu, my poor self, as Professor Mills’ running mate not only as a surprise choice but as a bait which Martin Amidu excitedly swallowed. I intend to demonstrate that Kwamena Ahwoi fabricated the data giving rise to his shoddy narratives by stating how I came to reluctantly accept to be Professor Mills’ running mate on 3 September 2000

FIFTH CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AHWOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

The real intention of the author, Kwamena Ahwoi, was to paint President Rawlings as an autocrat who did not brook dissent from even his vice president such that Professor Mills was so terrified or afraid of him to engage in a one-on-one discussion with him on the reasons for not accepting Dr. Asamoah as the vice- presidential candidate. The author ended up conveying a picture of Professor Mills as not being his own man. Kwamena Ahwoi was, therefore, solely responsible for the derogatory words – “Mills-Rawlings’ Poodle” and “Vote Mills, Ge JJ free” - that the opponents of the NDC used to describe Professor Mills after his acceptance speech at his Ho coronation.

FOURTH CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AHWOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

The author, Kwamena Ahwoi, tried to use Working with Rawlings to re-write the history of the events of the period to distance his cohort of puppet masters and him from the decision by the NDC to endorse and acclaim Professor Mills as the NDC’s presidential candidate for the 2000 election. Consequently, he constructed his narrative of the events in such a manner as to make his cohort of puppet masters of Professor Mills and he to emerge the heroes of those two difficult years while President Rawlings’ wife and Rawlings together with others were cast as the villains.

THIRD CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AHWOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

Kwamena Ahwoi’s statement that President Rawlings went behind the author as the Minister for Local Government “and directly ordered Mr. Ishmael Ayittey (sic) to sign the contract. Mr. Ayittey (sic) did.”, is a big, irredeemable, and unpardonable lie. The narrative events fabricated by the Professor of Law don’t support facts and evidence. Mr. Ishmael Ayeetey was nowhere near the AMA as its MCE when the author alleges that President Rawlings directly ordered Mr. Ayeetey to sign the contract. Understandable that the author, Kwamena Ahwoi, could not have had the ability to practice the profession of law as rightly determined by the UK Inns of Courts and General Legal Council of Ghana.

FIRST CRITIQUE OF KWAMENA AHWOI’S WORKING WITH RAWLINGS

A content analysis of the author’s chapter 4 reveals he had to doctor facts and available data to conclude that before the NCD submitted its “Evolving a True Democracy” report to the PNDC “no options were foreclosed”: “The foreclosure only came with the presentation of the NCD report to the PNDC which came down cautiously in favour of multi-party democracy”. Without inversing the facts and straining old data contained in a 4th March 1985 press statement to establish a lack of foreclosure in spite of the PNDC Chairman’s January 1991 New Year broadcast to the Nation, the author could not claim credit for his ingenious role in guiding the PNDC to the path of multi-party democracy in Ghana
