The office of former President Jerry Rawlings says it is unfair for people to compare Ghana’s \u00a0development\u00a0to<\/span> non African countries.<\/p>\n

This follows comments made by a leading member of the Conventions People\u2019s Party (CPP), Professor Badu Akosa<\/span> stating that Ghana’s \u00a0 development stagnated and retrogressed under the Rawlings regime.<\/p>\n

He cited Malaysia as a country which gained independence within the same period as Ghana but is far ahead in terms of development.<\/p>\n

But in response, Mr. Rawlings\u2019 spokesperson, Kofi Adams questioned why a comparison was rather not made between Ghana and Togo, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and a host of other African countries.<\/p>\n

He insisted that persons who make such developmental comparisons \u201cneed to do a regional analysis and ask yourself, what was the performance of Ghana vis a vis the other countries around which equally also had same heads<\/span> for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, such regional comparisons will reveal \u201cthe conditions under which West African countries were operating and the conditions under which the Malay regions also operating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Adams recalled that under the Rawlings regime, an expansion was seen in Ghana\u2019s electrification and water production adding<\/span> that the country was not totally healthy when Ex-President Rawlings took over.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that Rawlings took over a country \u201cthat was having inflations in their thousands, a country that was having a negative GDP at the time that it was taken over and moved to a positive figures<\/span>, a country that virtually had no motorable roads if you take out the motor way<\/span>\u2026<\/span>so how can you talk that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
