Former Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South, and close associate of late former president Jerry Rawlings, Fritz Baffour, has revealed that the controversial book ‘Working with Rawlings’, authored by founding member of the National Democratic Congress, Kwamena Ahwoi, hurt the late president so much he wanted to publicly respond to some claims made in the book that he thought were inaccurate.
What made the betrayal worse, according to the Communications Consultant, was that the author of the book was a trusted friend and a close confidant.
Mr Baffour, who was Information Minister during the Mills Administration, said in an interview with Joy News’ Latif Iddrisu, that, the former president was angered by some claims in the book and persistently wanted to go public with a response, particularly during his final days on earth.
