Founder of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President Jerry John Rawlings has blamed members of his party for his conspicuous silence towards the Akufo-Addo led government.

According to the former military ruler, the constant lies being peddled by some members of the NDC about his family makes it difficult for him to believe the issues being raised by them against the Akuf0-Addo government hence his refusal to criticise the current administration.

Delivering a durbar to commemorate the 39th anniversary of the June 4 revolution in Accra on Monday, Mr. Rawlings indicated that various corruption scandals about the Akufo-Addo led government could be lies made up by some NDC members.

He further explained that this is because of the lies that are regularly peddled about him and his wife by these persons within the NDC.

“Some of the little ones are so vicious with their mouths…the kind of sins and nasty evil things that they do but turn around and insult people like Martin Amidu, like my wife, like myself and I wonder if that is my wife they are talking about, I wonder if that is me.

“When you say I don’t criticise Nana Addo or the things he does, to be quite honest I don’t know what to believe or to disbelieve because I know some of the things our people say about Martin Amidu, my wife and myself are false,” the military dictator said.

The former president has been a harsh critic of the party he founded under the late President John Evans Atta Mills and later President John Mahama.

But majority of his party members have accused him for treating the current government with kid gloves despite the many scandals that have rocked the NPP administration in less than 2 years in power.
