How Rawlings Stopped Needless Killings Of Officials, Others – Ahwoi Narrates

The controversial book, “Working With Rawlings” written by the Former Local Government Minister who worked in Jerry John Rawlings administration, Prof. Kwamena Ahwoi has given account of how he and other officials got Rawlings to stop the needless killings of public officials, Judges and others.

According to the book Jerry John Rawlings ‘sacked’ Ahwoi and his accomplice from his office but that was the day executions ended in the country

“I recount how a group of Rawlings’ closest advisers, including myself confronted him one early morning with a demand for him to “stop the executions” or risk our exit from his government. Though he did not give us any answer and literally “sacked” us from his office, he stopped signing death warrants that would have authorised the carrying out of the death sentences handed down by the public tribunals, thus effectively stopping the executions.”
