I used to respect the 2 former Presidents, Rawlings and Kuffour very well. But they mistakenly and cowardly, for fear of SUSPENSION and insults from NPP, added their voices to the NPP and LMVCA baseless agitation for a new voters' register. I want to remind them that they are now STATESMEN and should consider the interest of Ghana first, not any political party or pressure group else the international communities would see them as WEAK and indecisive.

Man check your NDC party. You killed people for stealing just 120 Ghana Cedis. Now they are stealing millions of US dollars and still showing off their booty in Ghana with pride. Excuse me to say: Shut up Sir!

I fully agree with your sentiments about hearing or seeing J.J. Rawlings. I fully detest the evil hypocrite.
The death of General Acheampong to this day makes me sad. He was killed for no justifiable reason and was not personally corrupt. If he was his Widow would not have for many years been working tirelessly as a Nurse in London for many years after the death of her Husband. I wish J.J. Rawlings would face the same firing squad as he proved to be more corrupt than those that were murdered.

How did Rawlings ended up a billionaire and own properties all over the country?

Rawlings hasn't created even one single business yet he has all the money in this world. In fact, he is high up the billionaire list.

Talk about Corruption and Greed and Rawlings and his greedy wife lead the pack. They burnt down a government they were living in so the NDC government can provide them with a more modern house.

Rawlings is a hypocrite and it is time we show him the billboard of his crafts (Hypocrisy,Greed, and Corruption).

Dear, J.J do you really understand the meaning of democracy, pain and corruption when talking to Ghanaians? Let me tell you in plain words, you came to power not by democratic means. Secondary you don't have feelings so you still don't feel the pains you caused to those killed and their family and love ones. And the last thing how much was your assets when you came into power? As I'm speaking you don't house or life insurance. You burnt your house down and the state picked up the cost. You are going to die and the state is going to pick up your funeral expenses. Look at the legacy American Presidents both dead and living have done for generations to come to enjoy. You use to credit Oguguro and what have you done to this poor lady full of love and caring. How do you feel killing a woman judge and sleeping with your wife?.

JJ, if you want Ghanaians to reignite and fight corruption, you and your family should avail yourselves for accountability and probity. Why have you inserted indemnity clause into Ghana's constitution? What are hiding? Why the indemnity clause? Note that the fight against corruption should start with you and your millionaire cronies as far back as 1979.

JJ Rawlings is hiding behind the transitional provisions in the Ghana constitution to avoid trial for the high treason that he committed against Ghana. He has now created the monster called NDC which is full of people who have specialized in organized crime, who are creating, looting and sharing state money among their families and friends through dubious and over inflated project costs. Rawlings also sold state properties like Nsawam cannery, Kanda GNTC, STAR HOTEL, Lands at Cantonments etc to his wife's private organization - the 31st Dec Women Movement. The NDC he created is now the devil's vehicle for destroying Ghana.
