    Rawlings must be bold and condemn Mahama economic recklessness and stop the unhelpful generalization. Rawlings is a coward

    *Rawlings had every opportunity to unite ghanaians but for political points followed Nkrumah to devide the people wider. It was his time that Ewes forcibly teamed up with the northerners to isolate the Asantes, even though hi ...

    You cannot rule a country/Ghana successfully by sidelining one tribe or a major tribe like the Akans. This is the best results you get.

  • CARDINAL 12 years ago

    Rawlings cannot condemn Mahama about corruption because he is worse than Mahama. Rawlings is a con man who has "conned" Ghanaians to believe in his nonsense.

    He stole Ghanacan

    He stole Caridem

    He stole Star hotel

  • OSEI TAWIAH 12 years ago

    He thinks punishing Akans by destroying their businesses and taking all government positions away from them will create a level ground against poverty for all Ghanaians. That is not how nature works. The idiot could have take ...

    It is good to criticise, but had you guys found your voices to do this during Kufuor's time, much of the corruption would have been stemmed before this time.

    Mahama is the topic today why bring in Kufour?Are you happy about the NDC party that you woke up at 1.00am and queued and voted for?

  • Vuvuzela 12 years ago

    Was NPP better? We see the colossal residue today years after it left the seat. Question: Was is worth it?

    I still think going to the polls outside traditional "party-teaming" thoughts appeals to me, but in case you missed ...

    NDC has not yet proven even one corruption case against NPP. If an official is found to be corrupt by a "clean" government, why not send him to jail?

  • Kojo 12 years ago

    Tell me why no Minister or official of the Kuffour government has not been prosecuted or found guilty for corruption. Are you saying Ndc is incompetent in prosecuting them?

  • Vuvuzela 12 years ago

    Do you know the problem? If we should be truthful to ourselves and jail those corrupt sinking the country, we would have all NDC and NPP cadres behind the grill. The all stole! Which is the reason no one gets jailed, unlike t ...

    The answer is simple, Tsikata was jailed for being too greedy. He shared the booty on himself and himself alone, and the booty was too much to be ignored. Tsikata went to jail only in book. That was not a real jail term, and ...

  • OBURONIBA FITAFITA 12 years ago

    I totally agree with Mr Rawlings but it goes a step further. Corruption is the killer of our society.
