Kweku Baako: Rawlings Is A Licensed Irritant

The Editor in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Mr. Kweku Baako, has described ex-president Rawlings as a �licensed irritant and a walking contradiction� who has to be ignored. �He is a licensed irritant�to his own people. He is a split personality and a walking contradiction, he�s everything negative. I don�t want to waste my intellectual energy on him this morning. If I have to talk about him, the show will probably never end,� Mr. Baako said on Peace FM�s morning show, �Kokrokoo�. He had earlier reluctantly agreed to make any comments on the issue. Mr Baako was reacting to the former President�s outburst in Kumasi when he addressed a youth wing of the NDC, the United Cadres Front (UCF). Ex-Prez Rawlings is reported to have said that there is disillusion among the people due to the government style of President Mills which lacks a revolutionary spirit. It would be recalled that Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Mr. Kwesi Pratt, descended heavily on the former President yesterday on the same platform.
