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!

Mahama and NDC can never do the right thing as they are burdened by their tribalism and corrupt souls . They think winning election gives them the right to the spoils of war so they can loot and ransack anything they can lay their hands on but they forget you got to actually do battle and shed blood first . coup de tats do not justify such wanton pillage and the sooner we organize our bloody uprising the better

Everything I read about Rawlings is maddening, indeed. The Nsawan Cannery issue, for instance, never gets answered; account 48 question is not one worthy of his botheration. Too many acts of dishonesty and fraud and ... downright wickedness: acts that swept everyone out of his way, on merest suspicion, into their graves. A lot of havoc can be traced to this man, all for the sake of what? - the little bread he can put into his already failing bodily tent; and for the sake of the worldly roof he finds temporarily over his head. No wonder he's more inclined on the side of his voodoos than of God. He has to pretend there's no God in order to maintain whatever little sanity remaining in him. We can only pray for him; for God said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay" (Hebrews 10:30).
The big question is: What could we have expected of a short-sighted, hungry, navel-gazing, out-of-control-for-fatherlessness, glib-talking, drugged soldier?
Let's pray for peace for God's beloved Ghana. Amen.

We hope that our citizens in Ukraine are safe and that the govt will act swiftly.

Nonetheless, the Ukraine crisis is yet another incidence that shows how diversity must cherished among humans. A world in which there's one power that everybody must look up to is unlikely to be stable.

You don't get up and demand a change without considering the cost of change. A good example is the 'Arab Spring'. One-time stable economies are now beggars, courtesy of a world in which we must all talk the same, dress the same, think the same, eat the same etc.

That's exactly what came into my mind. If some Ghanaians are supposedly trapped or stranded in Lugansk, Ukraine as reported here, then the last place they would ever call is that of the office of ghanaweb. How about their parents for goodness sakes, huh? In fact, there are handful of Ghanaian students there and all are based in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine hence the very reason why there is only a Ghanaian Consulate-attaché in that part of the world. Ghanaweb, could have done better than this for professional reportage just this once. Christ me, what an institution!

In the first place, there are no Ghanaians in Lugansk. Positively, not a single soul out there, Pal. Secondly, the so-called Alhassan could have saved himself all the trouble by calling a member of his family after his SOS phone calls were no getting through to the consulate in Kiev, but not a patch to the outfit of Ghanaweb instead if and only if he is truly and seriously stranded out there. Yes, Ghana embassies or consulates across the spectrum “sucks to the dungeons” towards Ghanaians in the Diaspora, but not a distress call more so when the situation in Lugansk is all the more leading the pages of international media. Get my drift now, wise lips?

Have you ever heard of a Ghanaian diplomat or even an Ambassador acting with a sense of urgency?

In Ghana people are sent outside on diplomatic duty to go and enjoy life. Otherwise how can people like Victor whats his name, the Field Marshal of the NDC Shit-Bombing Squadron and that woman who kills 2 stones with one bird be appointed as ambassadors to the UK and South Africa respectively? Were they appointed to go and disgrace the country or what?

Of course we cannot rely on the statement of the Ghanaian Consul Dr Kitcher because very likely he is out of touch like all other Ghanaian diplomatic staff. Even when you try to reach them by phone wherever they are in the world, they dont respond. Anybody who disputes this should try to call the Ghana Embassy in Washington tomorrow.

Foreigners in Ukraine are not in harm's way, as the skirmish is between Ukrainians and Pro-Russian Ukrainians. There hasn't been a call for the evacuation of foreigners living in the eastern part of Ukraine where the fighting is going on. Therefore, there is no cause to panic. If this person fears for his life, then he get out of Ukraine. He shouldn't expect the Ghanaian government to undertake a massive evacuation of its citizens when it is unnecessary at this time.

Blame the Americans for their usual hegemonic ambitions. America has provoked the Russians by trying to get a toehold on the doorstep of the Russian State a situation which the latter will NEVER allow.The Russians have no military abroad while the Americans have thousands of troops in over 100 countries often thousands of miles from the USA.It is not difficult to figure out who the real aggressors and enemies of world peace are. We could be seeing the makings of the Third World War in the next 10 years. Hubris arrogance which characterizes so much of American foreign policy is the real threat to world peace today. America patrols the world today brandishing weaponry while the rest of the world including the Chinese , Russians etc are busy doing mutually beneficial deals with other countries. An overstretched America now finds itself increasing isolated in its aims from the rest of the world.In the last 30 years America has intervened directly in the affairs of over 50 countries attempting to change them to USA friendly ones. The chaos and mayham today in Libya Iraq and many other countries where America has intervened militarily is testimony to the disaster that their foreign policy is today. THE WORLD WOULD BE A SAFER PLACE TODAY IF AMERICA CURBED ITS COMPULSIVE DESIRE TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. There are even signs traditional European allies of the USA are getting fed up with immature and reckless American foreign Policy. The French German and UK have refused to endorse whole-heartedly a dangerous complete boycotting a an economically strong and very powerful Nuclear Russia as it is not intheir national interest to do so. The leaders of these countries have been meeting with the Russian leader against the wishes of the Americans even as we write.

Alhasan is a GREAT and a BIG lair. I was on a Skype line with Dr. Albert Kitcher yesterday night and we could hardly make a sentence as he had to answer numerous calls from various Ghanaians locked up in the situation. From what I heard, he was giving all the advice he could to the callers. He has even dispatched a bus for further evacuation. People should try and give credit to where it belongs and rather be part of a solution instead of trying to create complicated issues with such lies. We are faced with such a dilemma and we should all work towards finding a common solution to the same. I advice Ghana-Web o also try and verify such information before putting it on air.
