Rawlings is the most corrupt President we have had in Ghana. He had his hands in all the shady corrupt deals that went on during his administration.

Yea though we walk through the valley of pepeni death we shall fear no ayigbe evil for the Lord stands by the children of Akan and Israel always . We shall forever remain blessed and despite the trials and tribulations served to us by this aboaba kwasea pepeni and murderous intent of the ayigbe we shall triumph. No matter what they do victory shall be ours for God has most certainly made them blind so they lack any wisdom and see no solutions . These pagan ungodly souls have lied and stolen from us on a daily basis but their days are surely numbered . Somebody quickly remind them i am still waiting in vain to be arrested or see the effects of their juju which they promised because we told our people to prepare for revolution and war . Today its clear the pepeni have armed themselves so we also begin to arm ourselves against these criminals, if you can not buy a licensed gun then make sure you sharpen your cutlasses well and keep them well polished and oiled . pepeni has appointed his incompetent criminal friends , family and tribesmen into various positions of state , little do they know that its not about building empty meaningless careers but they should know its a duty to serve the interests of the people and seek the well-being prosperity of all citizens regardless of stature , religious affiliation , ethnic background , age or gender . They plan and scheme to steal our oil and any wealth we are able to create. they work to systematically destroy even the basic family unit by try to thrush down our throats perverse gay homosexual values as being the ideal .They do not see the beauty of the unity in diversity of the various tribes of Akan rather they encourage and facilitate conflict amongst ourselves but it will not work as our people are now more sophisticated than that as no one is blind to their divide and rule tactics except the few idiots who think they build a political career in the oligarchy which has now crossed over into all parties . Be strong and vigilant oh children of Akan as our day draws nigh . long live the republic of Akan

Yes, I'll also support the writer 100 % to bring Rawlings to court. After all, he's telling us he has the evidence. Why is he sitting on it and not taking the man to court? Or he's just a coward hiding in London and making noise on ghanaweb? What does he want us to do with his alleged evidence? After all the man cannot stand for president again and we can decide not to vote for him because of what we read on ghanaweb.

The only thing to do is to send him to court - or shut the f..k up!

Rawlings cannot be taken to court because of the indemnity clause. If that clause is removed, Papa Jerry will be toasted alive.

Rawlings, time for you to talk. This is so far heartbreaking. Are there no "men" in Ghana to bring the "god" to court?

The writer hit a nerve of yours, didn't he ? It takes one to know one,as they say. You rather are the inward looking goon. There you go, exhibiting your Ewe herd mentality. You think Rawlings is clean, and the author leveled allegations I believe can be easily proven in the court of law. He is walking today, because Ghanaians think he a waste and will not bother soling themselves with his dirty blood. Moreover, if Ghanaians sought revenge, the indemnity clause in the 1992 constitution disallows it anyway. Each day on earth remains a torturous experience for the fat moron Rawlings. In Akan we say "Birth is an inevitably painful experience, day to day life for the most part even tougher and the latter stages littered with unending questions about one's deeds on earth. Hey, to each their own. You are judged by your associations, and if Rawlings remains a Saint to you then prepare for doomsday 'cos you are definitely going down with him.

IGNORING THE TRIBAL SENTIMENTS OF THIS NAIVE AND IGNORANT CONTRIBUTOR,I WISH TO ADVICE YOU THAT, THE ICC, WHICH GHANA IS A SIGNITORY TO SUPERCEDES THE INDEMINITY CLAUSE IN GHANA, AS SUCH, IF AND WHEN THIS CONTRIBUTOR BELIEVES EX PRESIDENT RAWLINGS IS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE TO THE MURDERS AND EXCESSES DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA, BY ALL MEANS, HE KNOWS OR I BELIEVE AS INTELLIGENT AS HE HAS DISPLAYED, HE SHOULD FIND A WAY TO GET EX PRESIDENT JERRY RAWLINGS THERE. WHERE THE EX PRESIDENT WILL NOT HAVE ANY OF HIS "ALLEGED CRONIES" THERE TO SAVE HIM. AND STOP STIRING TRIBAL DIFFERENCES IN YOUR RATHER CHILDISH AND NO INFORMATION GARBAGE HE IS SUBJECTING US TO. BRINGING OUT TRIBAL SENTIMENTS IS ALREADY FURTHER POLARISING A SOCIETY DEEPLY DEVIDED BY TRIBAL NONESENSE SPEWED BY IGNORANT AND RECKLESS POLITICIANS IN THIER GREED TO ATTAIN POLITICAL POWER IS GRAVE AND DANGEROUS ENOUGH. PLEASE APPRECIAT WHERE COMMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTAL AND CONDEMN WHEN RETROGRESSIVE. THERE ARE NO FACTS , JUST CIRCUMSTANCIAL EVIDENCE, THATS WHAT WE ARE READING AND IT IS RATHER SAD, THAT THE EDITOR HAS AGRRED TO PUBLISH WHITHOUT CHECKING FACTS, ANOTHER ACT OF VIDICTIVE IGNORANCE. PLEASE CRITISIZE CONSTURCTIVELY AND OFFER PROGRESSIVE OPTIONS, THEN THATS DEVELOPEMENT, OTHERWISE HOLD YOUR PEACE AND DONT DISPLAY YOUR IGNORANCE.

God bless you; may He grant you good health, long life, for letting particularly the Ghanaian youth know the truth about JJ. It's a good, useful, educative, edifying, heartwarming course that you are pursuing. So we encourage you to divulge it all, every bit of JJ'S evil, corruptible ways. Now with every platform offered, he never stops saying damnable things about his cold blood murders, which he continually justifies with impunity. And he blames Kufuor for 'monopolizing corruption', forgetting that four of his fingers point at himself, while one points at his accusers. Let his stupid, feeble-minded, shallow-minded, backward-looking, inward-looking followers insult you for this write-up. The truth is the ultimate goal of your article. We look forward to the next edition, and the next, and the next. My retired father, many times over, has narrated events under JJ's regime, particularly this PNDC Account 48. It's the same things you are saying on this website.

WHAT IS THE STATE OF MUBARAK OF EGYPT, AS WE SPEAK? THESE ARE BUT FEW AFRICAN LEADERS WHO THOUGHT PERHAPS THEY WERE GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF. JJ USED AN INDEMNITY CLAUSE TO 'PURGE' HIMSELF OF POSSIBLE PROSECUTION. BUT IT'S LAUGHABLE, BECAUSE THE LAWS OF NATURE HAVE NO REGARD NO REGARD FOR INDEMNITY CLAUSES. WHEN THE TIME COMES, HE WILL BE FRIED LIKE A CHICKEN.

It is unfortunate a trained officer of the Ghana Armed Forces, who went on absent without official leave (AWOL) would not remain in the military to learn to address issues but run away and be dancing round a point bringing in old issues to inflame. Kwesi Atta-Krufi Hayford, all these would not help you. Learn to get closer to God, and ask for forgiveness.

We need to know the truth, no matter how painful it may be. It is stupid cowards like you without any prodding from history- assuming you even care, who facilitate repetition of history- good and bad. We have this human without conscience- Rawlings, constantly rubbing insult in the injury he caused Ghanaians and then fencing himself against retribution with the indemnity clause, yet you expect people not to talk about his bad deeds. I say bring it on.

Rawlings and his murdering gang were able to detect the loans those military officers took because there was a paper trail. Though the officers did nothing against the law taking those loans, Rawlings and his young, blood thirsty, ambitious soldier friends needed to show their toughness and seriousness about the coup and going forward to the ghanaian public by sacrificing some of their own. On the other hand it was also more of a self preservation scheme. After killing those soldiers by firing squad, without following due process of law, they knew the same fate awaited them if they repeated the mistakes of the murdered officers. These were young and hungry officers who could not look the other way when face to face with money.
They did what most people would do under those prevalent circumstances but they have never been able to tell ghanaians the full story, knowing very well what fate could befall them. They have told lies and half truths, gotten rid of every paper trail and used middle men for all their business and financial transactions. Indeed, witnesses lie but documents don't . One thing they don't know is that truth is eternal and no amount of manouvering, air brushing, lying, posturing, etc, can ever erase the natural permanent marker ink that's used to write truth. There are more questions than the few half truths Rawlings once in a while dangles before ghanaians. One simple question that Rawlings cannot and will not answer is how he funded his children's expensive overseas education. What's so difficult about this question that he keeps evading or brushing it aside? Before the 1992 elections the Rawlings were worth a mere 200, 000 old cedis on their assets declaration forms. When shall we see another assets declaration to finally clear the air about how much they are really worth to put all speculations to rest. The longer this is delayed the more our suspicions hasten to be true.
The times have radically changed from the AFRC buga buga days to a day of enlightenment where knowledge has become so widespread that a farm hand is able to access the internet from a remote village in Ghana . The day of reckoning has caught up with Rawlings and whether he changes his story or not we know at least that he has been very economical with the truth about his personal wealth and integrity.
