Former President Jerry Rawlings claims 60 percent of “thieves” in government now hold positions in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The former President alleged that those people fought for party positions just to protect themselves from a possible prosecution for their evil deeds.

Mr. Rawlings who was reacting to the acquittal of business man Alfred Woyome stated that prosecution presented a poor case just to protect some people in government implicated in the case.

Citing the involvement of former Attorney General, Betty Mould-Iddrisu in the Woyomegate scandal as an example, Mr. Rawlings questioned why she was left off the hook.

"Woyome the thief is now a free man because some of our people who were involved in the thievery like Betty Mould and one other person were not produce in court for interrogation to provide vital information to jail him" he fumed.

“When 40% of the corrupt people have lost their positions to enable us clean the party, 60% have now come in to protect themselves and we also vote them. Are we so stupid” he quizzed.

He wondered why party people want him to condemn such corrupt acts when has those in charge have turned a blind eye and a deaf eye to it.

Mr. Rawlings said if people profit for doing the wrong things then people will not give off their best when in government.
