Rawlings should apologise to Ghanaians - Asiseh

The Crusading Guide says Mr Vincent Asiseh, National Press Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed the view that ex-President J.J Rawlings should apologise to Ghanaians.

Answering questions on the need for National Reconciliation on GTV's 'Breakfast Show' last week, Asiseh blamed the current tension in the country on the former President, saying he (Rawlings) should have created a congenial atmosphere for National Reconciliation during his tenure of office, which he did not do.

The NDC Press Secretary conceded that, Mr. Rawlings on his own cannot render the requisite apology to Ghanaians, but the President, Mr J.A.K. Kufuor should create the situation to draw Rawlings into apologizing to the nation.

Asiseh, defining Reconciliation and conciliation said what Ghanaians need at the moment was not reconciliation but conciliation. He said there was currently too much tension in the country as such a national reconciliation exercise would only provide a forum for people to get at each other.
