The managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako has reiterated his dislike for \u00a0what he describes as the politics of Ghana’s former President Jerry Rawlings.<\/p>\n
According to him former President’s continuous criticism of successive governments for their supposed inaction in the fight against corruption is unfair.<\/p>\n
Jerry Rawlings at a ceremony on Thursday at the University of Education, Winneba asked President John Dramani Mahama to rid his government of corruption.<\/p>\n
\u201d\u2026 . People with conscience are sometimes appalled by the extreme insensitivity displayed by some political appointees. The unprecedented levels of corruption, offensive show of power and opulence by some at a time when our country requires prudence and frugality is something that I call on President Mahama and his vice to set their eyes on,\u2019\u2019 \u00a0he said.<\/p>\n
According to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) founder, the corruption canker cannot be dealt with if \u2018\u2019we do not take on leaders and so-called untouchables\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to restore Ghana to a status of a country worth dying for,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
But speaking on news analysis program, NewsFile on Accra based JoyFM, Mr. Baako questioned the former president’s approach in the fight against corruption during his term of office.<\/p>\n
“What did Mr. Rawlings do to cure the situation?, Mr. Baako asked.<\/p>\n
Mr. Baako who is known for critiquing the former president was however quick to add: “I do not hate Rawlings, I detest his politics”<\/p>\n
“I am told that he asked Kofi Adams to make sure I got a ticket to Mecca. For him to have thought of me in that manner shows that he’s a good man,” he added.<\/p>\n
