Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings has been challenged to stay away from lending support to the re-election efforts of President John Mahama as the 2016 elections approach.
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, dared Ghana’s longest-serving head of state as he addressed party supporters on Saturday October 22 in his constituency.
He called on Mr Rawlings to prove his statesmanship and stand by the principles of probity and accountability he espoused during the two decades he ruled the country by campaigning against the president and governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) flag bearer for the December 7 polls, John Mahama.
According to Mr Annoh-Dompreh, the former president’s previous admission that some 60 per cent of President Mahama’s appointees are corrupt is enough reason for him to stick to his famous principles and denounce the NDC candidate in the upcoming polls.
“I am reminding former President Rawlings of the principles of probity and accountability he drew on to order the execution of some corrupt persons [during his years as Ghana’s military ruler],” he said.
“Today, the former president has admitted that 60 per cent of President Mahama’s appointees are corrupt. Based on this, I challenge the former president to denounce NDC flag bearer John Mahama because of his corrupt appointees and, instead, campaign for Nana Akufo-Addo.”

Oh fortget Rawling himself is the MOST CORRUPT ONE Abacha $5m dollars I rest my case
''corrupt appointees and not ***barred word***'' oh ok that means you have even endorsed Mahama. you just want him to change the appointees in his next term. aww JM TOASO
***barred word*** MAM. WHERE IS THE WORLD CUP MONEY.
Hon. Dompreh i think u r day dreaming, a Founder of a political party should leave his party to campaign for a opposition who in the past insulted him as well as stripped off his immunity as a Former Prez of his Country. Dompreh wake up and come again. Who is corrupt in this country? Ask Former Prez J.A Kuffour to define corruption for you, Hon. Dompreh.
does he really need that advice. Cry your own cry.
NOW DOMPREH SMELLS DEFEAT SO HE IS ADOPTING THE MACHIAVELLIAN TACTICS IN HIS CAMPAIGN. IS HE ASKING A MAN TO STAND ON THE PRINCIPLES THEY DOUBTED HIM FOR????? WERE THEY NOT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CAMPAIGN AGAINST THOSE SAME PROBITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY PRINCIPLES. ANY WAY,,, WHEN CHRIST WALKED ON EARTH,,, JUST A FEW WHO RECOGNIZE HIM ACCEPTED HIM,, UNTIL HE LEFT THE SCENE, BEFORE THEY REALIZED THEIR MISTAKES. SO IT MAY ALSO BE THAT DOMPREH IS BLINDED BY HIS STATE OF OPPOSITION AND HE DOES NOT SEE ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS GOVERNMENT. UNTIL HE FINDS HIMSELF OPPOSING ANOTHER PERSON ON THE SAME SEAT, THEN HE WILL REALIZE THAT THIS ONE IS GOOD AFTER ALL.
