Rawlings lied in Ouagadougou
Press Release, September 20, 2010
The attention of the Office of former President John
Agyekum Kufuor has been drawn to false remarks made
about his administration by former President Jerry John
Rawlings at a recent international forum in Ouagadougou,
Burkina Faso and responds as follows:
1. It is not true that under former President Kufuor a
journalist was paid $10,000 a month to ‘corrode the
sanctity of truth.’ Unsurprisingly, former President
Rawlings could not name the said journalist because no
such person exists.
2. The $350 a month former President Rawlings was
receiving was what was prescribed under the Greenstreet
report which he as President instituted.
3. Former President Kufuor as then sitting President was
also receiving the same amount until 2005 when the
Chinery-Hesse Committee upgraded it to Gh¢4,500 a month.
That is how much both former Presidents as well as the
sitting President are currently being paid. Former
President Rawlings was paid all his arrears from 2001
when the new salary scheme was effected.
4. Former President Rawlings again lied that former
President Kufuor’s administration took “over all the
lands belonging to the traditional chiefs and the
government and built huge mansions all over the place.”
5. This can never be true as no such thing happened
under the administration of former President Kufuor.
Former President Rawlings cannot have prove any such
thing and we challenge him to come up with the evidence.
6. The only intention of President Rawlings in stating
such obvious untruths is to disparage the hard won image
of former President Kufuor, both locally and
internationally.
7. This Office condemns the acts of former President
Rawlings in no uncertain terms, especially, because he
has persisted in like manner throughout the eight years
of the Kufuor administration.
8. It is unbecoming and reckless of a former Head of
State to mount international platforms only to deride
his successor with baseless allegations as in the
process he also taints the image of the country.
