Former President Jerry John Rawlings has berated former Presidents John Kufuor, John Atta Mills and John Mahama over what he describes as the widespread corruption, mismanagement that soared in their regime.
“I remember when I left office, it (corruption) was prevalent during Kufuor’s tenure, during Mills’ tenure it continued and Mahama did same. I remember when Kufuor was leaving he did some bad things,” Rawlings told a gathering at the 80th Ada Asafotufiami Festival on Saturday.
The former military leader maintained that he detest corruption to the letter, adding his unflinching stance against corruption had created the false impression among some NDC faithful that he hates the party.
“When I talk, they say I don’t like NDC, no! I don’t like stealing, I don’t like disgrace so if NDC does good, I will praise them if they are bad I will say it as well.
He added:“If NPP does well, I will praise them, if they do bad I will hit them on their back”.
Mr. Rawlings however, lauded the Akufo-Addo government for placing the Presidency on the line in the fight against illegal mining.
