Government has dismissed comments by former President Agyekum Kufuor that he is not being treated with dignity and respect.Mr. Kufuor told the BBC during a recent visit to London that he expects to be given treatment befitting of a former president once the new administration settles down.But government insists Mr. Kufour is getting his due.Speaking to Joy News’ Dzifa Bampoe, Deputy Information Minister James Agyenim-Boateng said Mr Kufuor himself had not been fair to ex-President Rawlings during the NPP administration, but stressed “that is not what this administration intends doing.”“Come to think of it… the treatment he [Kufuor] is getting from the administration led by H.E. (President Mills) is beyond Mr Kufuor’s measure; what he meted out to former President Rawlings plus many other people…hurling him before the BNI,” he said.He also said the NPP government set a bad precedent when it withdrew privileges for Mr Rawlings and Ghanaian embassies abroad refused to extend courtesies to Mr Rawlings.Mr. Agyenim-Boateng also took exception to Mr. Kufuor’s comments that the government is behaving as if Ghana is under a military dictatorship.He said had the NDC led a bad government US President Barack Obama would not have set foot in the country.Mr Agyenim Boateng remarked that: “President Mills had shown dedication to the rule of law, to the tenets of democracy, accountability, running an open and credible administration.”“I do not think these are the hallmarks of a military or a coup d'etat regime,” he said.
