Ex-AFRC member blasts Rawlings

In a front-page story, the Crusading Guide says a former member of the defunct Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), has described President Jerry Rawlings as a 'betrayer'.

The paper says that the Ex-member, Sergeant Peter Tasiri Azongo, who made this observation during the November 25 "Ya bre mo" demonstration in Accra, maintained that he was taking part in the protest march because "Rawlings has betrayed the cause of the AFRC, which came into power in 1979 to rid the society of corruption and ensure transparency, probity and accountability".

The Crusading Guide says that retired Sergeant Tasiri, who prefers to be addressed as 'Sergeant', was easily spotted at different times during the march with placards hanging around his neck with the bold inscriptions: "Rawlings is a betrayer", "NDC, enough is enough", "J.J. Resign" and "AFRC betrayed".

According to the paper, the former AFRC member lamented the rate at which the social vices the AFRC had tasked itself to eradicate years ago, are being perpetrated under the same person (Rawlings), who was the Chairman of the AFRC.
