The Energies of Kuffour and Rawlings

You can hate Kuffour for everything but there is one thing you can't

take away from him, the man is a damn excellent statesman...rewind to

Burkinafaso a couple of days ago to expresident Rawlings busily

tarnishing the image of his country by making very

irrelevant, derogatory and populist statements about 350 United States

Dollars salary,stolen lands etc. fastforward and pause to just a few

days ago in Germany where Ex president Kuffour was given a simalar

stage, Kuffour seized the opportunity to make positive statements

about Ghana and his former administration,never did he make make any

derogatory comments about the policies of the current Mills

administration or the previous corrupt,illegal coud d tat Rawlings

administration he took over from. This is just an example of some of

the positive and negative comments made by these two ex presidents.

The question resonating in my head now is, why is Rawlings so bitter,

he hates the NPP with a passion, and he is not even content his party

is in power and he will never compliment President Mills.On the other

hand his so called enemy Kuffour is full of positive air. Ex

presidents must be statesmen, they must seize every or any opportunity

to market thier country even if they find themselves in Afghanistan,

Iraq,Somalia or better still Burkina faso.

I pray Rawlings tries as much as possible to reflect over his style,

most probably sample the opinion of discerning people who are not

politically tainted and I am pretty sure he will understand. Perhaps

is Rawlings surrounded by sycophants who only inform him what he wants

to hear.

Mr Rawlings you can hate Kuffour with a passion, you can even accuse

him of the worse crimes of humanity but Kuffour is a true definition

of a Ghanaian statesmen and you are extremely opposite and I pray you

change your ways. There is so much you can do to contribute towards

the better Ghana agenda you founded. Ghana needs your positive energy.
