Jerry John Rawlings of PNDC and NDC fame has bragged that he has never engaged himself in any form of corruption in his entire life.
Rawlings, however, noted that power has a way of corrupting people, bu the same thing can’t be said about him, ceteris paribus.
“This is the benefit that they [People] are trying to tarnish my image because I was not as vulnerable as most of our people are”, he stressed.
He also mentioned that PV Obeng was one of such people in his government who was incorruptible.
“PV was one of such persons, for instance in terms of avoiding being corrupted he stayed away from dubious things.”
He added that PV was so smart and good that “he was my de facto Prime Minister; that man was such brilliant.”
On records, Rawlings has been very critical of past and present governments, describing NPP’s Kufuor and NDC’s Mahama as very corrupt personalities.
