Hear him; I have seen and known things during the Presidency of Kufour, late Prof. Mills and the immediate past President John Mahama. He called on the party to admit it did a lot of things wrong and called for things to be done right to ensure the party’s bounces back.

Chairman Rawlings justified his constant criticism of the Mills -Mahama administration., saying , when I give advises in secret its never taken. He pointed out that he advised about the party’s problem in the Northern Regios but the NDC didn’t take it. He said he was rather accused of instigating people in the North.
