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.

Oh Ghanaians, we talk too much If de indemnity clauses are scrapped, all de secrets will pop up. We will all know everything about JJ & his henchmen who murdered the Judges, sold government properties to themselves etc. Pl. Nana, let's have a look at de constitution and a proper history will be created for the generations yet unborn so action speaks louder than words.
NDC probity, accountability and integrity has now become create, l00t and share.
ken live j j
by the way who you ken rep
For once I agree with Kennedy Agyepong.
Rawlings destroyed our education system and sent his children to study abroad.....Unbelievable! NDC is a cr!m!nal gang which must be barned. Ghanaians must wise up and stop following this party. Whoever they will present as presidential candidate in the 2020 election will get 20% of the vote. They will get 20 seats in parliament.
Massa; for those us on the forum who have been saying JJ Rawlings was the EVIL CURSE THAT BEFELL GHANA TODAY THE TRUTH IS SLOWLY COMMING OUT FOR GHANAIANS TO HEAR !!!!!; not from Agyepong by none other than Alhaji Bature ; the trouble is you cannot understand why some young people still continue follwing this EWE FRAUDESTER AND A LIAR JJ RAWLINGS AND HIS WIFE !!!! IT IS MIND BOGGLING !!!!!;because for some of us we knew JJ Rawling was the ultimate curse on the people Ghana for 20 years ; the man fulled Ghanaians BIG TIME !!!!!and for those of us who went to school with him we knew he was a COWARD and an unstable person who chewed 'grass' and moved with the BAD GANG in Ghana ; JJ Rawlings brought respectability to mixed race Ghanaians ; because in the past these mixed race Ghanaians were never respected ; they were Blockheads who never did well at school including JJ Rawlings ; the man always followed the crowd because he was not physically strong but love to pick fights ; how Boakye Djan allowed this manipulator to lead the AFRC/PNDC with these intelligent people to follow him baffles me till today ; TODAY WE ARE PAYING FOR THE PRICE OF RAWLINGINSISM ; FRAUD :MURDER ;ENVINESS ;STILLING AND TRIBALISM ; TODAY JJ RAWLING AND HIS WIFE NANA KONADU ARE SCARED THAT THEY WILL BE EXPOSED AND PERHAPS LYNENCED ON THE STREET BECAUSE IF GHANAIANS KNEW THE REAL JJ RAWLINGS NOBODY WILL GO NEAR THE MAN ; JJ Rawlings sowed a bad seed and the fruits and price is what we as Ghanaians are paying today; WHO perpetuated and trained NDC people to murder ; who KILLED ATTA MILLS because there have been no proper investigations and it has been swept under the carpet but we all hoping Nana Addo will open some investigation into Atta Mills death may be next year; but knowing Jon Mahama and his EVIL deeds perhaps the corpse have already been removed and replaced by Jon Mahama ; because Jon Mahama and the NDC are just EVIL PEOPLE.
Rawlings should pray to God for forgiveness and apologise to the whole country, especially the relatives of the people he killed. He was the one who the monster, called NDC, violence in Ghana politics, macho-men, seizing ballot boxes, rigging elections, lynching people, corruption, insults, and a hole lot of fullish things into the society. He should repent and beg for forgiveness, instead of beating about the ***barred word***, every year during June 4th. We are just tired of his tantrums.
Mr. Agyapong is a brave man - he is not afraid to say what he things, whether right or wrong. I respect him very much for that. Rawlings made lots of mistakes, so have many others before and after him. I think it is time this news outlet demanded people who make comments/contributions to show their true identity to give credence to what they write. I do not want to be known just as MMB.
Rawlings talks as if as he is a saint. He should kindly keep his mouth shut. Liman was democratically elected but because of his greed he staged a coup and came back to power again
