RE: MAHAMA LED A CORRUPT REGIME – RAWLINGS

The attention of the office of former President Jerry John Rawlings has been drawn to a publication by the Daily Guide newspaper of Thursday, November 8, 2018 captioned ‘Mahama led a corrupt regime – Rawlings’.

The office wishes to state that Flt Lt Rawlings did not meet former Sierra Leonean Vice President Chief Sam Sumana ‘over the weekend’ as reported.

The last time Chief Sam Sumana called on former President Rawlings was in late 2017.

We caution the media to desist from dragging the name of the former President into imaginary circumstances.
