Jerry Rawlings, the founder of the National Democratic Congress criticized the ex-president John Mahama and said prior president completely failed to fight corruption.
According to Jerry Rawlings, the ex-president is not committed to removing corruption from the country. He said Mahama didn’t establish an admirable step to stop the corruption. He delivered a statement during ‘this year’s annual National Cadres Conference at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region last Saturday.’
“After winning power, the Mills/Mahama government did not listen to my admonishment to prosecute corrupt officials in the Kufuor administration even though there was proof. I pressurized them to crack the whip on the corrupt officials but they refused. Mills would always say he was chosen by God just to rebut my advice to crack the whip. Then it came to Mahama who also left it like that so that he too could go and take refuge there when he had exhausted his time in political office.”
