President Kufuor’s comments at the weekend that former President Rawlings was scheming to overthrow his government caught the attention of former Vice President Evans Attah Mills, who dismissed the allegation, saying it had no basis.

Attah Mills said it was unbecoming of President Kufuor to cast aspersions at his opponents and never bothering to substantiate them.

"Kufuor is noted for such loose talk," Atta-Mills said

"He says things that he cannot substantiate. We're tired of him crying wolf where there's none."

Mills said Kufuor ought to check his utterances if he wanted to be taken seriously, otherwise very soon no one would listen to him when he speaks.

The claim also drew in the NDC’s National Organiser, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo who posited that President Kufuor was deliberately throwing mud at the former President and the NDC to cover up for his party’s shortcomings. Former President Rawlings is not in the country and would be expected to react to the charges.
