The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong says former President Jerry John Rawlings has no moral right to talk about corruption because he was the one who planted it in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“He has no moral right to talk about corruption…he’s pretending to be a saint. I am always surprised when you guys see him as a hero. The kind of training he gave the NDC; the seed he sowed that is what we are reaping today" he said.
Hon Agyapong was reacting to comments made by the former President during the 38th-anniversary of June 4 revolution during a discussion on Adom TV, Tuesday.
Speaking on Sunday at the June 4th anniversary durbar in Wa, the former President and founder of the NDC bemoaned the corruption that bedeviled the NDC when it was in power.
“Let me remind people that we could not have possibly forgotten that generals were executed in 1979 in the rage and anger because of corruption. The greed, corruption and injustice of today believe it or not are a thousand times more than what these generals were executed for. And if we are unable to restore a fair measure of integrity into our dealings, then the blood of many would have been shared in vain. If we cannot get our cloths off and allow for fresh leadership to emerge then we shall sink even further,” he said.

Hon. Ken, I support you 100% on this. The man was a failure, has been a disaster and will forever be a failure and a disaster. He planted the seed of indiscipline when in those days when he was the Ghanaian leader he would do anything and still had his greedy bastards supporting him and cheering him on. that was the seed of indiscipline in the society he succeeded in sowing. I am happy he is alive to see all these. When CHRAJ found his govt functionaries to have amassed wealth, he chose not to deal with them but called them men of integrity. If he named Tsatsu as his Financial Wizard for which reason Prof. Kwesi Botwe resigned as Finance Minister in 1995 then Woyome has every right to call himself a financial Engineer for which the country owed him and he went to the courts supported by the unrepentant tthief par excellence Betty Mould and the Judgment Debt Manager Barton Oduro to swindle us of GHC51m. Hmmm. NDC we will see them.
he greed, corruption and injustice of today believe it or not are a thousand times more than what these generals were executed for. And if we are unable to restore a fair measure of integrity into our dealings, then the blood of many would have been shared in vain. If the above is attributed to the founder of AFRC, PNDC and NDC then he should KNOW that he has Killed people bread Winners FREE for NOTHING. With this coming from him (FOUNDER) the Almighty God will disintegrate the NDC for killing people for NOTHING - ENVIOUSNESS. The killing of the 3 Judges and the Military Officer.
@Koo Nimo you are very right. And find it a bit strange for very eminent people still follow this man if not greed and selfish interest. I have always said upon this background NDC will disintegrate and die a natural death. The morals had faded long ago. End of NDC is inevitable.
THANK YOU KEN. SOMETIMES I LIKE YOUR BRAVENESS. YOUR PARTY MEMBERS ARE PRAISING HIM EVEN NANA ADDO OUR PRESIDENT SAYS HE IS HIS MENTOR BUT YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY. THE MAN HAS NO FREIND HE WILL USE YOU AND DUMP YOU THAT IS HIS MODUS APIRENDI. I HAVE REGRETED FOLLOWING HIM I MUST CONFESS. YOU LOOK AROUND ALL THOSE WHO ASSISTED HIM HAS BECOME ENEMIES FOR HIM HE DOES NOT TALK TO THEM. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS THIS. THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE PARTY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY. I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE STILL IN THE NDC ? IN FACT HE MADE THE PARTY LOOSE.
For Rawlings to say this now then he should know that he had failed. Even if this had happened in his grave let alone as a living being. For this reason he should shoot himself to appease the soles of the Generals he killed and their families who are continually crying. Your AFRC, PNDC and NDC have been a failure. What for did you kill these generals. If what is happening in your own set up (AFRC, PNDC and NDC)is a thousand times than the Generals. Kill yourself.
