Former president Rawlings has filed a writ at an Accra Fast Track High Court restraining former Ghana's ambassador to the United Kingdom Professor Danso Boafo from going ahead with the launch of a book titled “JJ Rawlings and the Democratic Transition in Ghana”.

In his affidavit in support the writ, former President Rawlings is praying the court to place an injunction on the book launch accusing Professor Danso Boafo of reneging on an earlier agreement reached on the book.

According to Mr. Rawlings, Prof. Danso-Boafo had undertaken to wait for him to review the book and correct all factual inaccuracies that may be contained in it.

He maintained that the author of the book “has breached his own solemn undertaking with me and has published the book “J.J. Rawlings and the Democratic Transition in Ghana” with the view to launching same on Wednesday, 20 th August 2014 at 4:00pm at NAT Teacher's Hall, Accra.”

He said “The Defendant/Respondent has not extended due courtesy to me relating to the agreement aforesaid and had dropped a special invitation inviting him to the launch of the unapproved book.Annexed and marked as Exhibit C is the special invitation dropped at my office by the Defendant/ Respondent.”
