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!

"The good citizen must be one who does not allow an elected Government, even if it be of his political party of choice, to take his nation for an avoidable experimentation that would affect good democratic governance and good human capital development through commission or omission or sheer incompetence. Ghana and an NDC Government have fought the menace of drug trafficking and other serious crimes before and can do so again with appropriate commitment from patriotic and visionary leadership."

I agree with Justice Emile Short that the language used by GBA was inappropriate but at the same time, it is true that Afari Gyan's credibility was dented and the image of the Electoral Commission tarnished by what was revealed at the SC Presidential Petition hearing. If Afari Gyan could not define over-voting then why is he the Electoral Commissioner?
The GBA erred to have suggested the appointment of a new EC in advance when the existing one retires in 2015. That is against the constitution and it's sad that those who should be defending the constitution sought to undermine it. I hope they have learnt a lesson from this misguided and uncalled action.

Mr. Kweku Baako, could you remember that Nkrumah used to incite workers to strike against the Whiteman, and later on outlawed strikes in his regime and said they were unpatriotic when living conditions were genuinely unbearable for workers? Could you remember that Rawlings used to incite TUC workers to strike against Liman in order to over throw his government fraudulently? And could you remember that he used to take 'Kenkey' to Legon to demonstrate how the size had shrunk under Liman, and we ended up with the "Rawlings' Chain" but nobody could talk? Could you further remember that Acheampong and Rawlings used IMF conditionalitis under Busia and Liman as a pretext for overthrowing their governments unjustifiably, and the P/NDC reintroduced IMF and World Bank with stringent conditions after the coup without apologizing to Liman?
I don't know what the leftist P/NDC is talking about, and I don't believe that NPP is behind the present wave of strikes. As far as I know, NPP is only highlighting the failings and excesses of the government, hopping that they would translate into votes for the party in the next elections. And that is, in fact, a genuine legitimate politics because they are true and not false. Everybody in Ghana knows that cost of living under this NDC government is unbearable, and NPP could be seizing the opportunity to tell Ghanaians not to vote for NDC in the next elections. Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with highlighting the failings and excesses of an incapable government to wrestle power from it democratically. NDC is the cause of the strikes because of high levels of corruption, over spending, reckless borrowing and overall economic mismanagement that brought untold hardship on Ghanaians.

As somebody stated yesterday on this platform, we must sometimes tolerate the lunatic effusions that come out from some of our retarded brothers and sisters in the NDC who find the truth and common decency, a difficult pill to take.
Generally, on my part, I agree with most of what Kweku Baako has stated except that I wholeheartedly disagree with the part that he describes the NDC as an organized party. The NDC, an Organized party??????????????????
Perhaps Kweku Baako has an understanding of the word organized which is different from the dictionary meaning.
As far as I am concerned the NDC is a rampaging mob of petty criminals led by a crop of mafioso. What, for instance have they done during this term of their rule that suggests that they are organized? The people are clueless, from top to bottom.
That the NDC have reached the level that they have got to is only because they exploit the crass ignorance of the majority of the electorate who vote for them not because they want development and an improvement in their lives but they simply want their winning horse to win elections to spite the other parties. This unfortunate situation is worsened by the fact that the other parties are equally incompetent.

In any case radio discussions, such as the one in which Kweku Baako laid bare these sentiments, normally stretch beyond the subject matter to add meat to the discussions at hand. That may be why an innocuous local issue may stretch to include even international concepts and occurrences.

I am only expecting that you understand good English, and if you are lucky enough to read and understand good English and NOT "texting" English you would notice that I was trying to marry the heading and the statements made by Baako who I know very well. Akrasi Sarpong is someone I have known since Legon, and even used to process his National Service Allowance when I was in the Finance office of the University of Ghana so you can't tell me anything new about Akrasi Sarpong that I do not know.
I was not privy to the radio discussion so all you had to do if you ever had any formal education, and decent parental guidance was for you not to behave as one of our half-baked journalists and in plain language tell the world that his statement was a digression from an unassociated issue. Period.
FYI I am not from the moon, I am from Tamale and I hope your primary school teacher did mention to you that, is the capital town of the Northern Region of Ghana.
If you have been following issues here, I would say I am a regular here(Ghanaweb) and I do not spare anyone, not even the Prez.
If you want me to believe your warped understanding of life as per Akrasi Sarpong's terms of appointment, that he is supposed to run NACOB to please his employer? Ghana not the NDC then you need serious prayers.
You are so pathetic and based on your statements I can immediately paint your party colors, unfortunately I do not do cheap politics.

This stupid certificateless Kweku Baako as usual. We agree the NDC was founded out of the PNDC. But what about the NPP. Was the NPP not founded out of the NLM/UP/PP with a serious terorrism past. Is Kweku Baako not aware that the NPP was founded out of a BOMB THROWING and TRIBALISTIC Organization. Kweku should rather ask Nana Akuffo to produce a cpoy of his so called missing certificate and also tell us the name of the law school he attended.

Mr. Otoolege, I can safely say you are a JSS graduate .How many people did the socalled bomb throwers kill ? You NDC even did not start with PNDC , it started with AFRC which killed people with reckless abandon for rituals and envy , the most evil group that has morphed into the current NDC now killing Ghanaians with their daylight robbery .

All political parties founded after a coup are illegalities, thus from what Kwaku Baako is saying it means that all political parties that were formed after 1966 coup are all illegalities.

This is crass and irresponsible journalism. No country in its right senses will divulge such sensitive information to the public and NACOB must not under any circumstances. You can believe whatever you like but NACOB must not reveal any details about its collaboration or otherwise with the British authorities. And what has your reasoning got to do with your caption? Whether NDC was born out of illegality or not they are now a force to be reckoned with and indeed have arguably done better for our nation over the years than any other political party in our recent history. There are a lot of people born out of wedlock and you may argue illegitimately. Yet some of them turn out to be very good, productive, high achievers and probably contribute more than those born legitimately. The same holds true with NDC. As long as it turns out to be a force for good who cares how it was conceived and born? Let's learn to appreciate good things and stop bogging ourselves down with unpleasant pasts. However much you dwell on the past you cannot change it. So think about the future instead. And next time please choose a caption that links directly to your subject and don't use underhand tactics to get people to read your unfounded stories. That is cheap journalism and the type that is probably destroying Ghana more than any amount of corruption ever will. And before you attack politicians for any form of wrongdoing, do a little bit of introspection and check your own self for truth, integrity and professional journalistic ethics. Until you do that you'll just be blowing hot air.

Debunk what Kwaku Baako said about the formation of the Ndc and Rawlings and not resort to semantics.
If you put a bad seed in the soil it will certainly give you a bad produce. Is it not true with the Ndc? Just look around. I will be a bit diplomatic not to mention names at this point. I mean, both men and women the Ndc party has produced, in their life as a political party in our nation. But allow me to mention some of the produce that have germinated out of the bad seeds sown at it's formation: Woyome, CP, Waterville, Isofoton, Subah, Gyeeda, Akomfem, National Service Secretariat, Saada. These are produce from the Ndc backyard. It will be up to you to make your own judgment.
Concerning the cocaine saga, it is up to you to believe the story put out by NACOB. It does not make sense to Kweke Baako so he writes about it. I do not find the story credible as well. If there was a collaboration with British Intelligence there should have been more arrests, both here in Ghana and the house in England where this lady would finally take residence. And why the desperate statements and moves by top Government officials since the bust-up?

DEAR PUBLIC READERS OF GHANAWEB.COM,
THIS IS TO RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY COMMENT ON THE ABOVE RELATED "UNFORTUNATE,DIVISIVE AND PERSONAL RELATED IDIOSYNCRASY" PUBLICATION AS FOLLOWS: "NDC WAS FOUNDED ON FRAUD: BORN OUT OF AN ILLEGALITY--KWEKU BAAKO"
THAT IT WILL BE TIME WASTING AND EXPENDING ENERGY FOR AN EXERCISE THAT IS "FRUITLESS" THERETO.
BUT FOR THE SAKE OF HISTORY AND POSTERITY SAKES THAT IT SHOULD BE A GRATIFYING NEWS TO EVERY REASONABLE AND SENSIBLE GHANAIAN THAT THE ERSTWHILE PNDC GOVERNMENT GAVE BIRTH TO CONSTITUTIONAL RULE IN GHANA DURING THE 4TH REPUBLIC OF GHANA AND AS WELL GAVE BIRTH TO DEMOCRACY,GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION, POLITICAL PARTIES AND ALL DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND APPARATUSES IN GHANA.
THAT SINCE GHANA RETURNED TO CONSTITUTIONAL RULE DURING THE FOURTH (4TH) REPUBLIC THAT "CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT" NEVER AGAIN RESULTED OUT OF OR THROUGH "THE BARREL OF THE GUN" BUT THROUGH THE "BALLOT BOX" WHERE THE "VOICE OF THE PEOPLE EXPRESSED THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX BECOMES THE ORDER OF THE DAY".
THAT BOTH GOVERNMENT PARTY AND MAJOR OPPOSITION PARTY THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX CHANGED HANDS IN 2000 AND 2008 WHERE THE NDC WON THE 1992 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS WITH LANDSLIDE VICTORY AND AGAIN WON THE 1996 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX.
THAT THE NPP WON THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND BECAME THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA AND AGAIN WON IT IN 2004 BUT LOST IT TO NDC IN 2008 AND NDC RETAINED POWER THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX IN 2012.
THAT TAKING JUST A CURSORY LOOK AT GHANA DISPENSATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RULE DURING THE FOURTH (4TH) REPUBLIC THAT GOVERNMENT MAY CHANGE HAND THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX BY THE EXPRESSION OF THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE WHAT THEN IT WILL SUFFICE FOR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS AGAIN TO BE SEEN TO CREATE "CONTROVERSY" OF THE FORMATION OF "NDC", THERETO.
THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY LEAVING THE ENTIRE MATTER IN THE CAPABLE HANDS OF GHANAIANS AND FRIENDS OF GHANA ALL OVER THE WORLD TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND TO DRAW THEIR OWN REASONABLE AND LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS, THERETO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

What we need to do is spend time to think about the current wave of pervasive Corruption and how it can be stopped and get all our stolen monies back where they belong.
We cannot undo how the NDC came to be born. After all, the Civil Society voted the darn NDC to power twice under Rawlings and twice under Arthur Mills and Mahama. If the Party's formation was illegal, why did Mr. Baako not take the case to the Courts to seek its abrogation way back in the early days of the Party's life?
If Mr. Baako could fly to the Scandinavia to investigate an alleged Fraud by Rawlings, what hindered him from seeking for the disbanding of the NDC in its infancy, here at home, in Ghana? Now that the Party has grown buttresses and huge Umbrella crown, Mr. Baako is wasting our time on the Party's origins.
It would be better for Mr. Baako to chase after the missing Monies that all the Officials of the Government are alleged to have stolen. We need bold and resourceful Citizens to lead the Court fight to retrieve our stolen monies and put the culprits behind bars for a long time. We have seen too much talk and finger-pointing but nothing real to get our Monies back.
That is why I support the OccupyCorruption group's action to sue the Auditor-General to pressure it retrieve all the Monies Courts have ruled to be paid back to the Government, including the Woyome Loot.
Having the Courts decide that the Monies were stolen and must be refunded is one thing. And actually ensuring the Monies are paid back into State Coffers is another. Many Court decisions requiring certain immediate actions are often ignored to allow guilty culprits still enjoy freedom and the booty stolen.
We need the Media to join hands to keep banging the Government to let it promptly take the various actions the Courts have decided.
Kweku Baako is only still lamenting and wreaking vengeance for his loss of opportunities as a CPP activist in the Liman's PNP regime. Nothing more.
If he believes in his ability to help change anything for the better, then he should be using his Media clout to stop the Corruption now and prevent any dubious leader to take Power again. His reported approval of Akufo-Addo could even be said to be the product of the phenomenon of "The Enemy of my Enemy is a 'Friend'"--an opportunistic alliance, at best.
Long Live Ghana!!!

If so can/could the Party then register or refuse to do so with the E.C? To some of us, one thing Rawlings should be remembered for was reverting the country to a democratic rule. After all some of the rulers who came to power by the gun - and of course he was to be killed by the powers that be in those days - clinched to power.

This is a rehash of his usual diatribe towards Rawlings. The point is the NDC has evolved and is no longer tied to Rawlings' apron strings. It is actually a quite formidable electoral machine. What the opposition needs to do is set itself apart, so its values and policies are obvious to voters who will then make an informed choice. At the moment they are not doing that and need people like Baako to come up with these comments which don't actually take issues forward.

NDC is replete with thieves and crooks. A very good example is Asiedu Nketia, a poor teacher who by his crookedness become a multi millionaire. He is currently worth over $100 million.
J.J. Rawlings hurriedly killed Generals Afrifa, Acheampong, Akuffo, Kotei, Air Vice Marshall Boakye, Amedume and the rest, without proper judicial process for what he said were stealing and misappropriation of public funds.
What we are witnessing in NDC, especially with Asiedu Nketia makes the claims and actions of J.J. Rawlings and his AFRC gangsters self-defeating. Why would you kill someone for a crime you are simply not innocent of?

I am sorry but a certificate-less fool like you should not be sitting on high panels to misinform the country.
Is the NDC registered? Yes.
Is it make of Ghanaians? Yes.
Is it respected by Ghanaians and foreigners? Yes.

"Certificateless" but intelligent than you and your entire family.What has he said which is not true,it is a fact that Rawlings & his friends stole state fund to found NDC.Its for this reason that NDC will collapse in future.
If you were that intelligent. Get some books and educate yourself, boy.
How many times have we predicted the collapse of NDC? Another question. Let me see if you are a kid or just plain stupid.
setho b4 u claim something is a fact, where is the proof. No wonder the noisiest people depend on heresay, "he said" " she said" no facts just voicing out others garbage. Even little kids in school have the courage and good s ...

He is suppose to have come from the CPP tradition. He is a confused fool. He better join the NPP with both legs or stay neutral.
Mr. Otoolege, I can safely say you are a JSS graduate .How many people did the socalled bomb throwers kill ? You NDC even did not start with PNDC , it started with AFRC which killed people with reckless abandon for rituals a ...

It is a well known fact that you hate Rawlings and as a result nobody expects you to say anything positive about him and the NDC.
Kweku say he supports the CPP.What a hollow assertion!!.He has sold his political conscience to the NPP for bread and butter.He is now supporting a political tradition which has opposed and undermined the CPP and responsible ...

All political parties founded after a coup are illegalities, thus from what Kwaku Baako is saying it means that all political parties that were formed after 1966 coup are all illegalities.
This is crass and irresponsible journalism. No country in its right senses will divulge such sensitive information to the public and NACOB must not under any circumstances. You can believe whatever you like but NACOB must not ...

Debunk what Kwaku Baako said about the formation of the Ndc and Rawlings and not resort to semantics.
If you put a bad seed in the soil it will certainly give you a bad produce. Is it not true with the Ndc? Just look around ...

thyey stole and sold Ghana's properties like Gihoc and others and used the monies to finance their forky ndc.

This is low IQ on display, mentally retarded lawyer. Go and fool your evil and barbaric NPP. Foolish dog.
Schooland GIMPA drop-out Kweku Baako. Is he high on marijuana again? he talks a lot of rubbish these days.
What we need to do is spend time to think about the current wave of pervasive Corruption and how it can be stopped and get all our stolen monies back where they belong.
We cannot undo how the NDC came to be born. After a ...

I meant to say:
1). "That is why I support the OCCUPY GHANA.."
You are only expressing 'ur opinion but mind you, 'ur words are not final and not all that you say is true, oksy? You have rvery right to hate NDC but you arr lying on this issue.
Kweku, it amazes me sometimes when you make some pronouncements. Despite your seemingly "I know_allrism", don't you know that there was no Electoral Commission (E.C)then? If so can/could the Party then register or refuse to d ...

This is a rehash of his usual diatribe towards Rawlings. The point is the NDC has evolved and is no longer tied to Rawlings' apron strings. It is actually a quite formidable electoral machine. What the opposition needs to do ...

NDC is replete with thieves and crooks. A very good example is Asiedu Nketia, a poor teacher who by his crookedness become a multi millionaire. He is currently worth over $100 million.

MR. BAAKO, YOU´VE SPOKEN OUR HEARTS. YOU´RE TRUELY AN ASTUTE ACTIVIST. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.
