Fresh from launching his national campaign in the Ashanti Regional capital of Kumasi over the weekend, founder and leader of the United Renaissance Party (URP), Chuck Kofi Wayo, yesterday breezed into town with two salvo in hand.

The first was that, he was going to name his running mate for the December 2012 presidential elections today Wednesday, while the second was that, “Jerry Rawlings is the biggest conman in town”.

In respect of his running mate, Chuck preferred to keep his cards to his chest, but in the pounce on Rawlings, Wayo was almost loquacious.

Yesterday, the URP patriarch told The Enquirer in Accra that it served the National Democratic Congress (NDC) right that Ex-President Rawlings was all over the place kicking dirt on the government because the NDC had refused to heed his warning that the former President was a conman with selfish motives.

“I warned them several times about this guy but they did not listen, it serves them right that he is sabotaging them openly,” Wayo charged.

On Saturday, Mr. Rawlings hoisted the hands of his wife as the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP) a breakaway from the NDC, and predicted the failure of all NDC Parliamentary candidates in the upcoming December elections, even though he insists he is a member of the NDC .

The endorsement of the presidential ambition of his wife coming on the heels of an uncharacteristic visit to him by Nana Akufo-Addo, Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who particularly made it a point to humiliate Rawlings and his wife while he was Attorney General in the Kufuor regime, has revealed the shady calculations of Rawlings to undermine the NDC.

But Chuck Wayo's beef with Mr. Rawlings goes beyond the former President's commotion agenda in the NDC.

“You know I have intelligence on him (Rawlings) that will shock Ghanaians about how this man who came to power preaching one-man-one-toilet left office with a lot of the wealth of Ghanaians in his name,” Mr. Wayo said.

Of all atrocities inflicted on Ghanaians, Chuck was of the opinion that the etching of the indemnity clause in the 1992 Constitution was the most insulting.

Calling the executions of Generals Afrifa, Acheampong and Akufo as cold blooded murders, Mr. Wayo said the indemnity clause in the constitution represented the joke that Rawlings came to brutalize Ghanaians and then smartly tweaked the constitution to escape justice.

Earlier in the year, a constitution reform commission that was constituted by late President Mills to work out proposals for reform recommended that the indemnity clause in the 1992 constitution, which indemnifies all coup makers, in the political history of Ghana, be left untouched.

“And so if you are President you should be free to kill, steal and brutalize your own people and then walk free just because you were President?” the URP flag bearer asked.

Kofi Wayo said, the most befitting place for Mr. Rawlings, under the modern dispensation is prison.
