TSASI:
Under the leadership of Jerry John Rawlings and his NDC party, we can discuss fostering unity among Ghanaians, but superficial tolerance that merely acknowledges their existence is insufficient.
True unity and harmony requires more than just coexistence; it necessitates embracing diversity, promoting equality, and addressing the underlying issues that divide us. While it is important to acknowledge Rawlings’ efforts in ensuring stability and peaceful coexistence in Ghana during his tenure, it is also essential to acknowledge the shortcomings in achieving genuine unity.
During Rawlings’ leadership, there were notable human rights abuses and instances of political intolerance. Moreover, the socio-economic disparities between different regions and ethnic groups persisted, leading to feelings of marginalisation and distrust.
To truly foster unity, a thorough examination of these divisions and a commitment to addressing them is necessary. This involves implementing inclusive policies, promoting equitable distribution of resources, and fostering dialogue and understanding among different groups. Additionally, efforts to eradicate corruption, promote justice and accountability, and strengthen democratic institutions are crucial in creating a society that embraces the true spirit of unity. While Rawlings’ leadership brought stability to Ghana, there is still work to be done to ensure that Ghanaians live harmoniously, embracing each other’s differences and working towards a common goal of progress and development.

I agree with you completely. As I see it, Bawumia’s vision represents a different philosophy and practical approach. One could argue that your Ghanaian values necessitate a reflection on how former President John Rawlings’ government veered away from Dr. Nkrumah’s vision for Ghana, leading to the closure and selling off of industries that were vital for the country’s development. The decision to shut down key factories under Rawlings’ administration not only impacted the livelihoods of many but also contradicted the essence of diversifying and expanding state-owned enterprises as advised by the IMF. The actions taken by the (P)-NDC leadership to dismantle Nkrumah’s industrialization efforts and their questionable dealings with the remaining factories raise concerns about the prioritisation of personal interests over national development.
TSASI :
You may be wondering exactly what happened to the other Dr. Nkrumah factories. What did chairman Rawlings do to them? Continental Hotel, now Golden Tulip Hotel, was sold to a partnership between the Libyans and Rawlings’ NDC members as the Ghana-Libyan Arab Holding Co Ltd. for $3,578,125.
GHACEM was sold to SCANCEM of Norway for $3 million. GIHOC’s Abosso Glass Factory was sold to the Togolese Opposition Leader, Gilchrist Olympio.
West African Mills and GIHOC Electronics were sold to Kofi Kludjeson, former President of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI). Prestea and Tarkwa Goldfields were each sold for $3 million – The Statesman (October 23, 2002).
And as if to give us the finger and show us the impunity with which he regards us, chairman Rawlings virtually handed over Kwame Nkrumah’s Nsawam Cannery to his beloved wife, Konadu-Agyeman Rawlings. He dipped his filthy hands into our coffers, took all he could, gave a few to his wife as a loan to purchase Kwame Nkrumah’s factory.
Today, Konadu-Agyeman Rawlings is crying witch-hunting. She says she won’t pay back the money or the interest on the principal. She is virtually telling us that Kwame Nkrumah’s Nsawam Cannery is hers! It’s only in Ghana that a woman who never held any paid job would be able to own Kwame Nkrumah’s Nsawam Cannery. For all we know, Konadu- Aqyeman Rawlings’ husband’s industrialization policy was centred on the opening of more Gari Factories. How she realised that a Cannery is more desirable than Gari Factories only our ancestors knew! And why her husband didn’t.
We do know that even Accra Hearts of Oak, one of our national clubs, until recently was actually a personal property of Rawlings’ cohorts? “Ato Ahwoi, Board Chairman and Professor John Evans Atta Mills, a former Director of Accra Hearts of Oak, who are technically the owners of the club as they are the only living shareholders, have decided to relinquish their shares to pave way for a new floatation” – GNA (November 27, 2005)
How Ato Ahwoi and Fiifi Mills got to own Accra Hearts of Oak, only our ancestors know!
When were Hearts of Oak’s shares listed on the Stock Exchange? How Ato Ahwoi and Fiifi Mills managed to generate the funds to buy Hearts is a mystery for the ages. But I’m not shocked. If the (P)NDC government had lasted a decade more, I’m very sure that we’d wake up one day to find out that Ghana belonged to Ato Ahwoi, or chairman Rawlings himself or his wife!
And the manner with which the chairman went about the divestiture of Nkrumah’s industries show how corrupt and dishonest he is. His worshippers who are today’s NDC opposition Party will not agree.
I will expose the facts to Ghanaians and you’ll be the judges as to who’s speaking the truth or not.
Now Here Are The Facts.
Over sixty (60) of Ghana’s State- owned companies were placed on divestiture and sold between 1989 and 1992. The Divestiture Implementation Committee (DIC) was the body set up by the ( P )NDC junta to oversee this process. The law which gave legal backing to the DIC was not passed until January 5th, 1993. So in effect, between 1989 to the passage of PNDC Law 326 Emmanuel Agbodo’s DIC was an illegality which was selling Kwame Nkrumah’s companies.
So what made the PNDC decide to legalise the DIC in January 1993 after it had operated for many years without any legal backing? The Fourth Republican Constitution (1992 Constitution) was about to become operational, so they needed to cover their backs.
Friend, do not forget that although our current constitution is referred to as the 1992 Constitution it did not become operational until January 7th, 1993 after a constitutional President and Legislature had been sworn into office. We call that document the 1992 Constitution because that was the year Ghanaians accepted the document in a referendum. But after the referendum, the PNDC dictatorship was still in power till January 7th, 1993 when the (P)NDC’s Jesus, their Godfather, or better yet, their demigod, chairman Rawlings cloaked himself under civilian garbs and pretended to be a civilian Head of State. Hence, two clear days before the constitution became operational; the (P)NDC passed the Divestiture Law (P)NDC Law 326) to cover their behind by retroactively taking effect from C january 1st, 1988. Smart criminals!
ASSUMPTA:
I agree with you. I will also say that Ghanaians must keep a critical eye on the flaws of contemporary capitalism. They must strive to build a symbiotic economic system in which members of society share values and impart them to each other, thereby creating new values together. Vice President Bawumia’s premise on how to improve the economy is by enhancing human life. From this perspective, Ghanaians should contemplate whom to vote for to eliminate the proliferation of misery, weaken it, and ultimately eradicate it. Thank you for participating in today’s discussion.
