It will specifically talk about our struggles to win the 2008 elections and afterwards,\u201d the former President revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have titled the book \u2018The Triumph of Evil\u2019 and I am making frantic efforts to get it launched for everybody to see and know what really happened in the party after attaining political power and afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe book will make serious discoveries and some of the bad deeds that happened in the NDC, especially after we were able to win political power in 2008,\u201d Mr Rawlings said, attracting wild applause from his audience.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, the NDC founder said the book\u2019s content would open cobwebs, which would not augur well for the opposition party \u201cso some top NDC people have been begging me not to launch the book\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rawlings, who seemed like making a mockery of the NDC, said \u201cfear and panic has already gripped some NDC leading members,\u201d who fear the book would adversely affect the fortunes of the party during the 2020 polls.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the book also talked at length about how some people managed to use money to get hold of the party, thereby relegating justice, probity and accountability, which are the principles on which the party stands, to the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey monetised the electoral process so that they would keep you broke whilst they would stay in power with their cronies as they enjoy for you to suffer,\u201d the NDC founder pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on other pressing national issues, Mr. Rawlings said he doesn\u2019t feel happy and comfortable, especially when he sees some wealthy and influential people in society live their life as if they are above the law.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the various institutions of state should work without interference so that anybody, who would break the law, would be arrested and made to face the consequences as prescribed by the laws of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe domineering class should not be made to live above the law because a domineering class could easily be corrupted. The domineering class doesn\u2019t live above the law in the West and it should be replicated here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Some top-notch NDC members including the party\u2019s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Prof. Joshua Alabi, and other party members from all the 16 regions in the country attended the event at Ejisu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are pleading with their party\u2019s founder, Jerry John Rawlings, not to launch a \u2018controversial\u2019 book he has authored.
