AUTHOR: EBO QUANSAH---------------Dear reader, forgive me for diverting from the topic I promised yesterday. I have been compelled by Jerry Rawlings’ outburst in Nigeria about corruption, as if he himself is a saint. I am compelled to do this expose on the former junta head for those who do not know his role in promoting corruption as a national concept. Read on!
In June 1979, eight top military officers, including three former heads of state, were lined up and executed at the Teshie Military Firing range in two batches. Gen. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong, Gen. Frederick William Kwasi Akuffo, Gen. Robert Kotei, Lt-Gen. Akwasi Amankwaa Afrifa, Rear Admiral Joy Amedume, Air Vice-Marshall George Yaw Boakye, Emmanuel K. Utuka and Colonel Roger Felli were accused of corrupting the body politic.
In an interview with New Nation, a monthly magazine circulating in Nigeria and now defunct, the Chairman of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, which supervised over the most famous case of extra-judicial killings in the history of the political evolution of Ghana, justified the action of his military junta as a necessary action to rid the body politic of corruption.
“They were jumbo-sized armed robbers whose killings left the world smelling nicer,” Flt-Lt. Rawlings was quoted by the magazine as saying in explanation.
Jerry Rawlings said the officers had to be killed, “because Ghana was faced with their type of thievery breed of criminals who were worse than Nigeria’s armed robbers” in the 1970s.
“Now, I’ll tell you what we have here. We have a breed that is, perhaps, worse than your armed robbers,” he told reporters of the New Nation in an exclusive interview. “They are the pen robbers. These species of vermin have for long perpetrated corruption with impunity.
“They have not only bled the nation white, but as a result of their thievery, Ghana has suffered hunger, loss of national spirit, loss of pride and respect in the military uniform. So, as you can see, while Nigerians have perceived their main social problems to be the proliferation of six Naira armed robbers, we, in Ghana, think that our problem is that of people who take widow’s mite from a bankrupt nation.”
In the words of the ex-junta head: “While you (Nigeria) content yourself at the Bar Beach by watching the executions of mal-adjusted labourers, mechanics or clerks, we in Ghana, have killed the jumbo armed robbers, call them generals or brigadiers – whose going to leave the world smelling sweeter.”
One interesting thing about this claim is that Jerry Rawlings and his righteous AFRC members could not account for monies lodged in AFRC Account 48, which was specially created to lodge huge monies paid by businessmen and other persons and institutions found guilty by a so-called people court to have corrupted the system. Monies from seized goods auctioned to the public at so-called control prices were also lodged in the account.
When President Hilla Limann took power after the AFRC had left the scene on September 24, 1979, the new Head of State complained that there was nothing in the coffers, insinuating that the famous Account 48 could not be traced.
When Flt-Lt. Rawlings, who had refused to accept the new government’s offer to go on course abroad, was questioned on the disappearance of the huge lodgings in the account, he replied that he was not an accountant. Incidentally, the fate of PNDC Account 48, established by the second junta led by the same person, has not been accounted for as you read this piece.
One of the most interesting developments in Ghana’s political evolution was the decision to abolish the General Certificate of Examinations -Ordinary and Advanced levels- by the Provisional National Defence Council. The main reason given was that the old educational system had favoured only the children of the elite class.
At a time ordinary folks of the land were enrolling their children in what became known as the Junior and Senior Secondary schools, whose certificates -BECE and SCCE- were not recognised beyond the four corners of the country, Jerry Rawlings enrolled his children at the expensive Ghana International School in Accra to read subjects that qualified them to sit for the GCE Ordinary and the Advanced levels his PNDC administration had prohibited the mass of Ghanaian children from.
I do not believe corruption is only putting state money in one’s pocket. Exploiting state resources for one’s advantage could even be a worse form of corruption. That is why I have an axe to grind with Jerry Rawlings for enrolling all his children abroad to study with the GCE Ordinary and Advanced levels, acquired outside the formal sector in the country.
What I call Jerry’s Stupid Schools has debased education up to the tertiary level, where lottery numbers, other than real academic work, determines qualification at the first degree level.
To add insult to injury, when asked to tell Ghanaians how he was funding the education of all the three children -Ezanator, YaaAsantewaa and Kimathi- in expensive universities in Britain and Ireland, Jerry Rawlings looked at Ghanaians in the face and answered that unknown benefactors were picking up the bills for their fees.
The Almighty is a kind Lord. It emerged that companies the state of Ghana was dealing with and which were milking Ghana dry, were picking up the bills of Jerry Rawlings’ children. And such a person has the audacity to complain about leaders being corrupt.
I dare state that corruption was elevated into an art under Jerry Rawlings. The circumstances under which he transformed himself from a military dictator into a civil constitutional President smells of corruption all the way to the Castle.
After eleven and a half years of the ‘Gospel According to Jerry Rawlings,’ a period he himself identified as the ‘culture of silence’, Jerry Rawlings and those who claim to believe in him used the resources of state to convert his military oligarchy and the entire governance system into a political party. With the Electoral Commission and the entire process under his thumb, Jerry Rawlings exchanged his military garb for a description as Constitutional President of the Republic of Ghana. God Almighty should remain where he is.
The eight year administration he led, as Constitutional President of this Republic, eulogised corruption as a state-sponsored event. State asserts were transferred to cronies under the guise of divestiture. As you read this piece, Nsawam Cannery, one of the flagship projects of the now defunct Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation, belongs to Caridem, a company floated by Mrs. Rawlings’ 31st December Women’s Movement, in a purchasing agreement that parceled the company to Caridem for a pittance.
Under the Government of the National Democratic Congress Mark One, corruption festered on a large scale. It would take volumes to chronicle corruption under the NDC. But four prominent issues stand out. Getting to the end of the first term of office, newspapers that had been freed from the bondage of the culture of silence began chronicling evidence of corrupt deals by leading members of the regime.
In 1996, the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice investigated one matter and established massive corrupt deals against Ibrahim Adam, then Minister of Agriculture, Colonel E.M. Osei Owusu, a former Minister of the Interior, P.V. Obeng, a Presidential Staffer, and Dr. Adjei Marfo, a Chief Executive Officer of a state-run company.
Instead of prosecuting them, the Government of Saint Rawlings rather issued a While Paper exonerating the corrupt elements, and rather indicted the media for highlighting the issue.
In Britain, Mabey and Johnson was prosecuted not too long ago for corruptly influencing Ghanaian politicians between 1994 and 1999 to gain bridge contracts, The news in these contracts is that barely one year after completing two bridges in Ghana, including one over River Oti, the Ghana Government had to contract experts from Britain to repair them as they threatened to cave in.
In 2002, the former Managing Director of Ghana Rubber Estates Limited, Mr. Etienne Arthur Marie Popeler, told an Accra Fast Track High Court that he gave millions of dollars to Mr. Dan Abodakpi, then Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms. Shirley Ayittey, then Treasurer of the 31st December Women’s Movement, in bribes before his French company, SIPH, could secure GREL.
The case of Ms. Cotton, an unemployed American, secured $20 million of scarce state cash from compromised state officials, ostensibly to grow rice for Ghanaians at Aveyime in the Battor area of the Volta Region. Even when Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States had sent a warning letter about the background of Ms. Cotton, and intimating that she was incapable of undertaking the task, state officials paid the money. As it turned out, the main motivating factor was the cut they all stood to make.
If corruption is endemic in the body politic after the so-called June 4, uprising, the genesis could be traced to Jerry Rawlings who executed eight Ghanaians officials on unproven trivial charges, and out-doored full- blown corruption as a state policy.
In other exposé next week, I intend to draw the link between the free for all looting that assails the body politic in the Mills-Mahama regime, and the adventure of Jerry John Rawlings as Head of State of this Republic. I shall return!

Kwame, I disagree with you. What the man is complaining about is the truth that should have been corrected from the very start and which Kuffour should also have worked on. How does a sitting president write a constitution that favours his own party and also appoint an electoral commissioner. Is that not conflict of interest? If Ghanaians are serious to fix the problems of the country that is one of the areas that needs to change to ensure the integrity and the accountability JJ is always filling our pockets with which he himself does not live by.

Why didn't Kofi Jumah make this demand on Kufuor's term? He might have found a more willing ear then.

It looks as if Mr. Jumah accepts the EC only when his side is on top and in Power. If he knew that Kufuor came to power as a result of electoral fraud or incompetence, why did he not raise his objection to the results?

If his view on Rawlings' ostensible deliberate design to perpetuate NDC victory were any valid, how does Mr. Jumah explain the back-to-back victories of the NPP that gave Kufuor 2 consecutive terms?

Just being vociferous does not mean making much sense, Kofi. Do not preemptively concede defeat for the NPP. And do not make any advance claim to electoral cheat before the Elections even come around.

Shame unto Kofi Jumah!! Instead of calling for order in NPP for good works to be done to recapture power, he is shouting nonsense. Inn fact Kofi Jumah is so much aware that the current condition of NPP is not the best and he does not see a swift end to the problems that have engulfed the party hence his stupid advice. Somebody in NPP must let go of his decision to contest the presidential candidate of the party. Someone else must forgive the wrongs of others in the party and let sleeping dogs lie low for the party to rise up. So many others must support the party with money. There must be a sort of reconcilliation in the party. Above all the party must show some remorse for the looting and cleaning they have done in their reign. Ghanaians are more than aware of what they have done.

Kofi Jumah must help address the charges of corruption within the NPP as made by Dr. Kennedy first. If that problem remains, it drastically diminishes the necessary moral eligibility with which NPP could correct the corruption and ineptitude alleged against the NDC and return the Nation to normalcy.

If the NPP cannot keep its house in order, how could it fix the Nation's problems? We are tired of replacing one set of thieves with another at the helm of our Country's governance.

A whole new more patriotic Party without baggage seems to be due for creation to salvage what is left of the Nation before we lose everything. Haba!!

Another foolish man! What do you gain from the policy of boycott? NLM opposition party tried it in the sixties, but the then CPP government carried on with the governance of the country with precision. (Perhaps you were not bourn then.) In your age, the NPP also tried in Parliarment but failed to achieve their corrupt reason.

Exactly that. Rawlings appointed crooked men in the likes of Afari Gyan to protect his back and reign supreme to allow the NDC to rule Ghana in perpertuity and to protect his cowardly acts. Today he walks the street trumpeting his hatred and projecting his murderous ways. Strip the EC and build it from the scratch. And Kuffuor won that election because it was too overwhelming they couldn't steal it. That of Akkufo Addo was close so they could manipulate it. But yes Kofi , you are now begining to make sense. The poisonous and hatred that Rawlings has created for close to 30 yrs should end. All the political parties should unite and scrap this EC danger which looms in the country under Afari Gyan. God forbid , it could cause a major disturbance that could cause human lives. Scrap the EC and build it anew. I know the NDC will resist because the system as it exist now works for them

If the logic or the thinking of members of the opposition NPP are to be followed to the letter, then there is bound to be an explosion in this country in the not too distant future.

Listening to Kofi Jumah, the impression is created that the National Electoral Commission had not been fair to all the parties in the past, but in another vein, he seem to suggest that it was the NPP which had always been at the receiving end.The truth is that because the NPP did not appoint most of the officials at the helm of affairs at the Commission, they do not want to trust anybody.When the situation suits them, then they are fine with the Commission, if not, problem.

If such negative mentality of the NPP is not addressed, our beautiful country would one day be plunged into chaos.What Kofi Jumah is actually doing is seting up an NPP agenda leading to the 2016 election so that in the event that the NPP loses the election that would be enough grounds for them to misbehave in the country.

Kofi let's agree that your assertion is true; the NPP was in government for 8 years. Within those eight years, you held two positions in the government plus you were a Member of Parliament. Can you tell us why we failed to do anything about the situation? Don't forget, the same Afari Gyan and his men that you accuse today as being biased were at post under our watch.

The NPP won two elections with the same people on the job and what do you say about that? Did we bribe our way to government?

I'm very confident that you wouldn't be spewing this nonesense if we had won in 2008 or 2012. This is a fact because you said NOTHING between 2001 to 2009.

Kofi, why did we as a party engage the services of the same institution in our internal elections in Tamale and you, Kofi attended that event?

Should anybody take this drunkard serious? He claims to be drunk on most radio talk shows he appears on. Jumah is supposed to be one the "self-made" men of the NPP, destined to rule Ghana. Sooner or later, we will get to the bottom of the real reason why NPP and Nana Addo wasted valuable 8 months of 2013 with a frivolous law suit. By this statement, has NPP conceded defeat before the 2016 elections are held?
