RE: Kimathi Rawlings Weds Akufo-Addo's Daughter

The Office of President Rawlings has taken note of a publication in an Accra tabloid of Tuesday, June 26, 2012 stating that Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings is set to wed the daughter of Nana Akufo-Addo, Adriana Dukua.

We hereby inform the general public that there is no liaison between the two people as published in the media. Mr. Kimathi Rawlings confirms that there is no such relationship between him and the young lady.

The report published in the said tabloid is a fabrication of the editor whose deficiency as far as truth is concerned has moved from severe to chronic. It is mischievous and a gross violation of the private lives of the two young people and a disregard for their integrity.

We wish to caution the media that any re-publication of this false report is also slanderous and libellous and will be a violation of the privacy rights of Mr. Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings.

We reserve the right to pursue the matter at the appropriate quarters.

Thank you.
