Leila Djansi

Ghanaian filmmaker Leila Djansi, based in the USA, has punched holes in the remarks made by a segment of the country's journalists following the death of former president Jerry John Rawlings.

The well-versed filmmaker cited these remarks as deceitful in a post sighted by ghlense.net

She asked what it meant if they say there is a positive and poor side of the deceased statesman.

Leila lamented that referring to people who enforce discipline, dignity, hard work and selflessness as difficult or poor is not healthy for them.

She echoed what former President Rawlings had done to save the people of Ghana.

She wrote :

 “I’m not sure I understand or appreciate some of the Ghanaian journalists and their duplicitous commentary. JJ Rawlings had a good and bad side? What y’all mean? What bad side? His unmatched integrity? Leadership by example? It’s unhealthy to refer to people who enforce discipline, integrity, hard work and selflessness as difficult or bad.

“Rawlings SAVED Ghana from hunger and all the corruption wrought under Acheampong. He punished the guilty. If that’s what made him bad, well… Ghana will never ever see his kind again. Every plane that flew above our heads brought the chant “JJ Rawlings” from kids. He was a legend! He was rare and he was such a dreamy god! Rest Well! You will be missed and never forgotten!”
