Ghana wouldn’t be where it is today without Rawlings’ vision – Lecturer

A lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University(KTU) Dr Samuel Afriyie has described late Former President Jerry John Rawlings as an institution the country should not forget his track records.

Ghanaians should celebrate ex-President Jerry John Rawlings forever though people had problems with him late Rawlings was a very good man who helped Ghana and the vulnerable people”. He stated.
