JEREMIAH JOHN RAWLINGS
The true son of mama Africa
You came, you saw and you
conquered your corrupt enemies.
He first appeared on the Ghanaian
political scene on June 4, 1979.
Then he came back on December 31, 1981
and restored Ghana into the path of
total political and economic emancipation.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Ghana could have become
a basket case, but he averted an
impending disaster in Ghana,
by taking a drastic but effective actions
of getting rid of some corrupt elements
in Ghana political arena..
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Some say the story of Ghana is like the
story of the biblical Moses and the Jews.
It required a certain J.J Rawlings to play
the role of the powerful Hebrew.
It is a story of emancipation,
bravery and patriotism.
A story of belief, national commitment,
sacrifice, hardwork and honesty
to fellow citizens.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Ft Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings Liberated
Ghana from militarism, mis-governance,
economic paralysis, hunger, and
perpetual doom when he publicly
executed the likes of Gen. Afriffa,
Gen Akuffo, Gen Acheampong,
and all those who plunged Ghana
into untold hardship.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Today, Ghana is laughing loud
and thankful to God for using
J.J to emancipate the country.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
JJ you came, you saw and you
conquered your corrupt enemies
Rawlings you are blessed
He who Jah blessed, no one curse
Not even the descendants of
destructive metimehu elements.

AUTHOR: SEE BELOW----------------------------
It would be recalled that before Election 2000, the Rawlings's P/NDC had ruled Ghana for 19 solid years. This era, as we all know, was marked by human rights abuses, tribalism, corruption, economic hardship, cash and carry system, and more seriously, serial killings of women.
What then did President John Agyekum Kufuor and his NPP do with the power given him between 2001 and 2009? This write-up seeks to find the answer under social infrastructure, policies & programmes, and good governance.
ON SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE • Kufuor's tenure witnessed the construction of two new sports stadia at Essipong and Tamale; the rehabilitation of both Accra and Kumasi sports stadia, and another sports complex in Cape Coast.
• Under Kufuor, a new Presidential Palace was built to house the president and his family; the Accra-Tema commuter railway line was constructed, and the Keta Sea Defence wall was built to protect the people of Keta.
• A $622m loan was secured for the construction of the Bui Dam & Bui City Project; the Boankra Inland Port was started (now abandoned); major feeder and trunk roads (Accra-Kumasi-Aflao-Kasoa-Cape Coast, Aburi), several by-passes in Accra and Kumasi including the Sofoline and Asafo interchange, and George Walker Bush 14km High Way were all constructed.
• The Peduase Lodge, which had been abandoned was restored; several boreholes were drilled to end the perennial water problems in Cape Coast and Tamale; the Aboadze Thermal Plant was expanded; the Kofi Annan ICT Centre for Excellence, and state-of-the art wood village at Sokoban in Kumasi for Anloga carpenters were all built.
• Another legacy of Kufuor is the construction of the Accident and Emergency Centre with a landing base at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH). This has saved several precious lives.
• Besides, 56 existing senior high schools were upgraded as Model Schools; two institutions (University of Education, Winneba, and University of Mines & Technology) were given autonomy to run as public universities, UDS had Campuses at Wa and Bolgatanga, 21 new senior high schools, 1,334 new JHS blocks, 1,331 primary schools, and 5,164 pre-schools were built.
• Also, over 5,000 affordable housing units at various parts of the country were built. A cocoa processing plant was built in Kumasi. The West African Gas Pipe Line was nearly completed. There was expansion of the road network from 39,000 km of accessible roads to 65,000 km by 2008.
• The Ghana @ 50 ‘legacy’ projects like recreational parks, renovation of public buildings, and historical monuments across all the 10 regions and their district capitals were built. The government also built 14 fishing harbours in our fishing communities.
ON POLICIES & PROGRAMMES • The Kufuor government introduced free basic education through the capitation grant (fee- free). There was school feeding programme where pupils from some selected public basic schools were given one hot meal a day.
• The National Health Insurance Scheme was introduced to replace the cash and carry system and make health care affordable. There was also the introduction of free maternal care to reduce child mortality.
• The government frequently released brand new buses to GPRTU, and introduced the metro mass transit, replaced the Ghana Airways with Ghana International Airlines (all meant to improve the transportation system.
• The NPP introduced the Northern Development Fund with a US$25m seed fund to reduce the North-South poverty gap; free bus ride for school kids, brought Zoom Lion Company Limited to rid our cities of filth, created Youth Fund with a $50m seed money and instituted the National Youth Employment Programme, which rolled out seven programmes including community police, teaching assistance, health care, agric extension, etc to reduce the country’s high unemployment.
• Kufuor also introduced the mass cocoa spraying exercise, frequently increased the producer price of cocoa; subsidised fertilizer, and made prompt payment of bonuses to cocoa farmers.
• In his quest to mechanise agriculture, the Kufuor government imported 3,331 brand new tractors, but unfortunately, Mahama Ayariga, and Alban Bagbin used their positions in government to buy some at only GHC1,000.
• The annual cocoa yield increased from 350 metric tonnes in 2000 to 750 metric tonnes in 2006 with an income of US$1bn to the economy. By 2010, Ghana had hit 1m cocoa production. This feat alone moved Ghana from the 4th position to the 2nd position in terms of the world’s leading producers of the product.
• The size of the Ghana's economy quadrupled from US$3.9m in 2008 to US$16.3m in 2008, thus ending the year with GDP growth rate of 8.4%.
• Whilst inflation was reduced from 40% in 2000 to 9.8% in 2006 (single digit) and later 18% in 2008, interest rate fell from 50% to 25% during the period under consideration. The daily minimum wage was increased from 42Gp (4,200 old cedis) in 2000 to GHC2.25 (22,500 old cedis) in 2009.
• A New Education Reform was put in place in 2007 with special emphasis on Maths, Science, Vocational and ICT. Kindergarten education officially became part of our basic education system.
• The admission of JHS graduates into SHS was computerised to reduce corruption and hassle of parents; there was Baah-Wiredu Laptop project aimed at giving one laptop to every school child.
• All the 38 Teacher Training Colleges were upgraded into tertiary status (Colleges of Education); Distance education programme was introduced for teachers and workers.
• The government also introduced Untrained Teacher Education Programme for Pupil Teachers to become trained teachers, Access Course to Teacher Training Colleges for SHS graduates who could not do well in Maths and English. The purpose was to upgrade the knowledge of the teacher, beef up the teacher population, and subsequently help to address the falling educational standards in the country.
• Private universities sprung from 4 to over 50, whilst existing infrastructure in the public universities and other public tertiary institutions were expanded through the GETFund.
• The SSNIT Loan Scheme was restructured for students to take more loans. Plans were far advanced to start not only Single Spine Salary Structure for public sector workers, but also a new 3-tier pension scheme for both private and public sector workers.
ON GOOD GOVERNANCE • His Excellency, President J. A. Kufuor tolerated all shades of opinion and verbal abused from ‘Dr.’ Asemfoforo, an NDC paid serial caller, and J. J. Rawlings, who at one time referred to the then sitting President as ‘Ataa Ayi’ - a notorious armed robber.
• Ghanaians witnessed the National Reconciliation; the reburial of three former heads of state namely; Okatakyie Afrifa, Gen. I.K. Acheampong and Gen. F.W.K Akufo and five senior military officers, who were executed in 1979 by J. J. Rawlings.
• In addition, over 100 assets of noble and hard working citizens seized by J.J. Rawlings were deconfiscated to their owners.
• The criminal libel and seditious laws which had provided 10 years’ maximum imprisonment for offenders was repealed. The People’s Assembly concept which made it possible for Ghanaians to interact with the President and his Ministers on yearly basis was instituted.
• There was all-inclusive governance with the likes of Mallam Issah (PNC), Dr. Paa Nduom, Prof. Badu Akosah, Prof. Hagan - all CPP leading members, working under the NPP administration. Kufuor also facilitated the appointments of Dr. Ibn Chambas as the Secretary General of ECOWAS, and Ekwow Spio-Garbrah as Chief Executive Officer of CTO.
• Kufuor created 60 additional districts and raised some of them to municipal & metropolitan status to facilitate local governance. The District Assembly Common Fund was increased from 5% to 7.5%.
• There was a plethora of FM Radio stations, regular media encounters with the President, broadcasting of news in the major local dialects on the Ghana Television (GTV), which hitherto had been in English and Akan.
• The Kufuor government passed the Representation of the People Amendment act (ROPAA) into law to enfranchise Ghanaians in the diaspora, though Afari Gyan failed to make it operational.
• Kufuor should also be commended for the expansion of mobile phone network across the length and breadth of the country as he removed tariffs on mobile phone importation.
• Kufuor created a Ministry for Public Sector Reform with the view to developing a new and positive mindset for public sector workers; Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs to empower women and improve their lot; and the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs to tap the rich expertise of our noble traditional leaders.
• Also, June 4 and the 31st December were removed from the statute books as public holidays. The 64th Infantry Regiment were disbanded to other units to ensure discipline in the Armed Forces.
• Kufuor featured regularly at all G-8 Summits. His excellent diplomatic relations with world leaders enabled Ghana not only to attract attention and investment worldwide, but also he was unanimously elected to chair both the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Under his leadership, Ghana had the opportunity to assume the rotational presidency of the UN Security Council.
• President Kufuor also won several international awards including the Chatham House Prize Award in 2008 as a result of peace and economic growth which characterised his two terms in office. No wonder he was given a rousing welcome by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England.
• Again, President Kufuor took a leading role in mediating in regional conflicts including those in Liberia, La Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.
• As a true democrat, he was even criticised by his own party members and sympathisers for not hanging onto power before the Tain by-elections when the NPP’s Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo was leading in the 2008 Presidential elections.
• Kufuor is on record as the only President who left office in the peaceful manner in which he entered it. This is indeed a lasting legacy because all his predecessors were either overthrown by the military or metamorphosed themselves into civilian presidents.
• Kufuor introduced the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme, where the aged and other vulnerable people in Ghana were paid monthly allowances of between 8 and 15 Ghana cedis.
• Under President Kufuor's leadership, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to cut in half the proportion of its people who suffer from hunger. He and LUIZ DA SILVA of Brazil jointly received the 2011 World Food Prize.
• He introduced micro finance loans to help small and medium-scale businesses, the Export Development Fund (EDIF), the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) which makes it possible for local producers to access the US market, as well as, the Ghana Poverty Reduction Programmes I & II were all aimed at improving the lot of Ghanaians.
• The Kufuor-led NPP administration purchased VALCO from the Americans at a cosmic sum of US$20m.
• On corruption, a minister of state under his administration was charged for wilfully causing financial loss to the state and together with other members of the previous government, was sentenced to a prison term.
• Ghana was the first country in Africa to submit herself to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). It would also interest readers to note that for the first time in 50 years, Ghana under the leadership of Kufuor earned a respectable B+ rating on the international financial scene in 2006 and this indeed, facilitated the country’s successful bid to access over US$ 750m from the Eurobond market.
• The passage of the Public Procurement Act, Financial Administration Act, Internal Audit Agency Act, which made the agency exceed its revenue target every year, the Office of Accountability Act, the Whistle Blowers Act, the importation of new police uniforms and over 1000 police vehicles to combat crime, the Right to Information bill, the establishment of Fast Track High Courts, the strengthening of state institutions like the SFO, CHRAJ, among others, were all geared towards the eradication of this social evil in the Ghanaian society.
• Last but not the least, Ghana under Kufuor’s reign became the largest recipient of Millennium Challenge Account funds of US$547m to combat poverty in Ghana. The bilateral and multilateral debt cancellations as a result of Ghana joining the Heavily Indebted and Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and the UN's and World Bank’s lucrative jobs for His Excellency, J. A. Kufuor even before the 2008 general elections make him stand tall among his contemporaries. He made Ghana, an oil producing country as oil was struck in commercial quantities in 2010.
How could the excellent record enumerated above be a factor to the NPP's electoral defeat? I leave it for the judgement of the Ghanaian voter in 2016.
God bless Ghana! God bless the NPP!! God bless Kufuor!!!
Let us first account for AFRC/PNDC accounts Number48.That would be very helpful in finding the genesis of some of our corruption issues.

corruption is encouraged at the highest office of the land , the mahamas are now in less than 2 years the richest family in Ghana worth over 3 billion dollars / euros according to Forbes . not until we organize a proper revolution that will sweep away this azaa constitution that protects the criminal elite we can never progress or develop . even America was born in blood and the rebuilt it based on true democracy and rule of law . they now have a system that through sometimes trial and error gets better every day and surprising enough has become the oldest country with a system of governance over 200 years old . In our case every tribal group comes and thinks their time has come so rob the people blind and do nothing to serve the interests of the people . The stakeholders of the Akans need to wake up and realize its time to arise and separate ourselves from the rest and build a nation and a country worthy for our children . there is only one project working for this ndc govt and that is lets rob the country blind as long as our mandate lasts . JJ , PV and all those criminals who stole since then have gone Scot free and will never be held accountable so why should these northerners be any different ? every election is about who gets the spoils of war as its as if the political elite oligarchy is at continuous war with its own people . trust me only a blood uprising can set our people free from this vicious circle . those who doubt these words i advise to reflect and contemplate and will soon realize there is no other alternative so should get ready

So Rawlings how can Kuffour just stash the old cedis for himself, this is senseless. Were the old cedis kept in the castle or did Kuffour order and Bank of Ghana offical to bring all the old cedis to him in the castle. Look Rawlings you are disgracing yourself, because even many Ghanaians that have not been Presidents before know it is not easy to just take monies from the bank as Rawlings wants us to believe.

Nemesis, your adulation of JJ is ill placed. The guy is corrupt as hell. Together with his evil wife Konadu stole state properties under the name of divestiture. He killed people who did less than a quarter of his thievery yet he has the gut to kill those generals. He exploited the genuine anger of Ghanaians at the time to entrench himself over Ghana for 19 years. He laid the foundation for the indiscipline and corruption in the country. A lot of people who challenged his criminal and brutal government just vanished from the face of the earth. If you can praise and give all this adulation to such a social misfit, then I do not know how to describe you. JJ blames Kuffour but Kuffour was part of his corrupt PNDC government, he learn the tricks of thievery by association with JJ and when his turn came with JJ shut up, he and his men did what they could. The JJ NDC just came back to continue with their plunder of the nation. JJ is right by saying corruption now pales in comparison to what existed before June 4th 1979. It time Ghanaian rose up in their masses against the corrupt 4th Republican governments in Ghana. Its time for the real people's revolution devoid of military adventurisms.

If he has to learn from history, he is repeating the same mistakes Afrifa made after leaving office and had no hand in the corruption at the time of Acheampong and Akuffo, but just because he was enjoying his ill gotten wealth and did not know to keep quiet he poke his nose in JJ May 5th saga. As a revenge JJ did him in and executed him. The political and economic temperature in Ghana is very hot and about to boil over.

The great man. You have said it again. The truth,nothing but the truth. Where are the old cedis that Kufour, the dirty ugly thief changed? They can only fool their primitive rats, and not discerning Ghanaians. Majority of us Ghanaians are patiently waiting for Jerry Rawlings to be indicted for any corruption whatsoever. Can the same be siad about that black ugly looking donkey of Kufour? History will judge us as a nation. All the suffering we are experiencing now are from these tribal Ashanti/Akyem criminals. Foolishly and ignorantly, they are decieving their grasscutter hunting illiterates that, Ghanaians are yearning for their rule again. Just imagine Kufour and his family members alone taking such huge amount of our oil money, all in the name of commission! And foolish and useless primates would go on air to defend such a dirty criminal. Ghana would be a better place without these characters. Long live the June 4th, long live Ghana, Long live Jerry Rawlings.

This is a warning to the corrupt politicians, beware of the workers agitations, the demonstrations of the ordinary people against corruption, the military will be overwhelmed and cannot protect and will not protect the corrupt politicians and the revolution will be in broad daylight not as at the night on june 4th 1979. This time it will be very bloody and merciless. The anger of the populace at anything that smells or look like corruption. It will not have any discernible leadership. That will be the hallmark of a real revolution

According to a list published by Ghanaweb, Forbes Africa today released a list of richest people in Ghana. Unsurprisingly, all of the men who made the list are heavily involved in politics. What message is this telling us younger folks? Think about that for a second.
According to the list the Mahama family which comprises of the current president and his two brothers (Alfred and Ibrahim) are worth over $3Billion which will make them the richest family in Ghana!
We doubt the authenticity of the report since we all know nobody declare their asset in Ghana, it is hard to really know how much one is worth.
Check out the list below:

Your 20-year rule was a double decade of missed opportunity. We had the best of times to transform this country but we failed. Ironically JJ continues to blame everybody except himself! What a wasted 20 years of misrule. All the talk about probity and accountability were a sham. Look at what this country is going through now and the apostle of probity and accountability continues to blame others. The same old blame game he started in 1979.
JJ should come to Rwanda and see what a courageous visionary leader can do for his country after a tumultuous period of genocide and dislocation!! What a failure JJ has been.

HOW THE OMANHENE OF ABURI DISAPPEARED UNDER RAWLINGS The Story Of BB Bismark
Yours truly, The Crusading GUIDE has discovered how Benjamin Brako Bismark, under the stool name Nana Osae Ntifo Ababio, the Chief of Aburi and Adontenhene of Akuapim disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1982 when he was picked to Gonda barracks by Ex-President Rawlings and his cronies.
Our findings have revealed that B.B. Bismark, then a successful self made business magnate, was picked to the Gonda barracks in a military vehicle where he shared a common cell with the then Henry Djaba without any clear charges leveled against him but for the flimsy charges brought against him by Rawlings and his boys including having many cars, houses, and many other properties.
Nana Osae Ntifo Ababio, the Chief of Aburi and Adontenhene of Akuapim, according to Mr. Deep Throat, was given an ‘identification haircut’ thus, his hair was shaved by the military chaps.
Close family allies told the Crusading Guide that the business magnate who was also one time team manager of the Ghana Black Stars in the era of John Eshun, had warned Gen. Akuffo against Rawlings.
“There has been no trace of him since he went to the Gondar Barracks in 1982. Though many believe that he died in the hands of the military chaps, his body has still not been found to be given a befitting burial that a true royal and true son of Akuapim (Aburi) deserves.” This paper learnt. B. B. Bismark’s family testified at the recent National Reconciliation Commission (NRC).
The sons and daughters of Aburi are still crying out to ex- president Rawlings to show them some respect by telling them where the great omanhene’s body could be found so they could lay his spirit to rest in a befitting manner as tradition and custom demanded.Author: Musa Kankani
