The Managing Editor of the Al Hajj Newspaper, Alhaji Bature Iddrissu has revealed that the litany of problems that have bedeviled the country must be blamed on former President Jerry John Rawlings.
“He ruled this country for 19 years and I am telling you that the current problems we are facing must be laid at his doorstep. 19 wasted years he could have done more to develop the country”, he said.
According to him, if the his 19-year rule had been properly used, the country will not be where it is today indicating that the blame game between the Mills, Kufuor and John Mahama regimes would not have existed if he Rawlings was up to the task during his reign.
“While other countries like Malaysia were moving ahead, he kept drawing the development fortunes of the country back. I am not saying he did not do well but he could have done better”, he added.
Alhaji Bature said the fact Rawlings did not steal state money does not mean he can stand integrity test anywhere and has no moral high ground to accuse some persons of lacking that same integrity.
While commending him for not diverting state funds, he warned the former president to be measured by his utterances challenging him to an integrity test.
“He wants to tell us he is a man of integrity but I can assure you that he cannot stand 10% of it.
Did he account to Ghanaians in 2,000 before he left office? He was supposed to give a state of nation address before exiting but he never did it.
Is that what he calls integrity when he failed to account for his stewardship”, he asked on Adom TV.

Look at the mouth that is spewing this rūbbīsh. Yes, I agree Rawlings was a complete waśte of time, but is it not the same dêmonic party he formed, that you spend your every waking moment defending? Or is it because of his open dislîke for or condemnation of your inçōmpetënt Mahama that has irked you so much? Such double standards!
Now that you are not getting some to chop, you are insulting NDC. When JJ was in power and you were getting to chop, you did not say anything. Black basteeeerd!
19 waisted years of Rawlings and 8 waisted years of Mills and John Mahama........ NDC is a cr!m!nal gang which must be disbanded..... Why are you guys still following the NDC party?
in that case Kuffour will also only be remembered for the death of the Y'ana and Mahama for corruption and greed
this guy is just a greedy village man. why is he now saying this. just because JJ spoke against mahama, so JJ is the cause of all of Ghana's problems. When mahama was stealling money and taking bribe and ford cars from contractors did he share with JJ. Leave JJ alone
I don't normally agree with Bature but if Rawlings I fully agree. The only thing Rawlings will be remembered for is killing our Judges and our soldiers. Sometimes you wonder if Rawlings brain is dead. He can only blame people while he wife is stealing our national properties. Rawlings daughter is ashamed of his killing people.
Wonders are really happening in Ghana. The apostles of Probity, Accountability, Transparency and Social Justice are tearing their Messiah apart saying those things were a hoax? The seed one sows is what germinated to give him more. These gallant soldiers were killed for less: Gen I K. Acheampong Gen Utuka Gen AA Afrifa Gen FWK Akuffo Air Vice Marshal Yaw Boakye Real Admiral Joy Amedume Gen Robert A. Kotei Col Roger Felli Yes, for taking a loan and repaying, one of these men was killed but today Woyome, George Crentsil, SADA, Abuga Pele, former DVLA Boss, Bus Branding Lady, Dzifa Ativor and a host of others are walking the earth free of charge. Time will tell.
The Almighty God will by-all means disintegrate the NDC Party. The last Election results is the beginning of its dying. Next Election they will NEVER get 20 Seats. I want to ask J.J. where is the Huge Amount perceived corrupt Ghanaians paid into his PNDC ACCOUNT NO. 48 for over 3 years.
