Ex-President Jerry Rawlings Under 24-Hour Surveillance
The Mills administration appears to have declared former President Jerry John Rawlings a security threat, as it mounts 24-hour watch in order to avoid springing surprises on the sitting President whom he nurtured from political obscurity to political limelight in the face of stiff opposition from party gurus at the time.
Two calls the Daily Guide newspaper placed to the National Security Advisor to the President, Brig Gen. Joseph Nunoo-Mensah (rtd), for his reaction, failed as he was not picking his phone. However, deputy editor of pro-NDC Daily Post, Livingston Pay Charlie, gave an indication to that effect yesterday, when he spoke on Hot FM, an Accra based radio station that President Mills was rewarding Mr. Rawlings for helping to bring back the NDC administration with the throwing of a security cordon around the ex-President.
He said the surveillance mounted on Rawlings was not restricted to Ghana but even when he travelled outside the country, a situation Livingston described as a mark of ingratitude. Livingston, a former editor of the Insight newspaper, accused Ato Ahwoi, a close confidante of President Mills, of being behind the woes of Rawlings. The journalist accused Mr. Ahwoi of allegedly paying Kwesi Pratt of the Insight newspaper and Raymond Archer of the Enquirer newspaper to attack Mr. Rawlings.
