Ex-President Rawlings has called for the immediate dismissal of security chiefs appointed by the erstwhile Kufuor administration.
According to him, the existence of the IGP Patrick Acheampong and the CDS Major General JB Danquah does not augur well for the new administration.
In an interview with Joy Correspondent Seth Kwami Boateng on Thursday, Mr. Rawlings said it was risky to leave those commanders at post when the soldiers and officers have lost faith in them.
“It seems as if Kufuor is the only person who’s been removed but the oppressive machinery is still intact,” he lamented.
Mr. Rawlings insisted some of those security chiefs deserved to be “arrested, suspended interdicted or at least be made to proceed on leave” but failed to identify them, nor the crimes for which they have to be prosecuted for.
He alleged some of the Commanders are prosecuting people perceived to be sympathisers of the NDC and called on President Mills to act fast.
He chided the Mills transition team for being too “gentlemanly” in dealing with appointees of the Kufuor administration, saying, “we are dealing with a government that misconducted itself.”
He said the vigilance of the masses is being dissipated as a result of the delay.
