Rawlings Sobers Up and .....

...kicks against May 15 celebration

The Free Press reports that ex-President John Jerry Rawlings has warned cadres of the Progressive Voluntary Organisations (PVOs) to desist from celebrating the anniversary of the May 15 Uprising, stating that he would disassociate himself from any illegalities.

This was after the cadres had called on him to solicit help, both moral and financial for the celebrations.

A top cadre, who wants to remain anonymous revealed that early last week, when the cadres called on the ex-President to welcome him back from his foreign trip, they broached the subject of the celebration but he told the cadres that the celebration of any revolution or coup had been declared illegal by the Supreme Court and he would therefore, not support any illegality.
