Former President Jerry John Rawlings says he does not hate the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but rather dislikes acts of corruption perpetrated by some officials of the party.
In an address at the 80th Ada Asafotufiami Festival on Saturday, the former President said his unflinching stance against corruption had created the false perception among some NDC faithful that he hates the party.
He said: "When I talk, they say I don't like NDC, no! I don't like stealing, I don't like disgrace so If NDC does good I will praise them if they are bad I will say it as well.
"If NPP does well, I will praise them, if they do bad I will hit them on their back".
He also chastised three former Presidents John Kufuor, Atta Mills and John Mahama for overseeing corruption during their tenures.
"I remember when I left office, it (corruption) was prevalent during Kufuor's tenure, during Mills tenure it continued and Mahama did same. I remember when Kufuor was leaving he did some bad things...".
However, he commended President Akufo Addo for placing the Presidency on the line in the fight against illegal mining.

The trouble with this ayigbe/ewe criminal JJ Rawlings is that ; the man forgets that he has had an evil past with stlling ; murder ; tribalistic tendencies and incompetence in his past life ;he forgets that he created the NDC through the assisstance from some evil kriminal elements like the the Tsatsu Tsikata siblings ; Awoor Williams ; the Ahwoi siblings; ET Mensah ; Kwesi Bowthway and other maggots ; today he seem to forget that he was the main master stiller in which he was involved in stilling monies from Nigerians through Abacha;what happened to the fifty cedi notes that he seied and packed in his house ; he managed to still state assets for his wife Nana Konadu ; today he says he hates people who still but the truth is that man himself is a stiller and a master political manipulator ; today the man says he admires Nana Addo and even prepared to be the 'Chief BOlA' man in Accra ; the question is why has JJ Rawlings suddenly taken such a post from Nana Addo; is it a political ploy to use this inject some political initiative into the NDC by doing community work ;NPP shouls be wary of this ewe/ayigbe man thy liars and thiffs -NPP SHOULD CAREFUL OF THIS MAN !!!!!!
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THIS RAWLINGS SEE HIMSELF AS THE ONLY SAINT IN GHANA AND THE REST OF US ARE ALL CORRUPT. YES! RAWLINGS IS LUCKY BECAUSE WE GHANAIAN S ARE COWARDS. THE MOST CORRUPT MAN IN OUR HISTORY IS RAWLINGS AND HIS WIFE.THEY CAME TO MURDER PEOPLE JUST FOR THEM TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. WHAT ABOUT THE FOREIGN GHANAIAN PROPERTIS YOU AND YOUR CRONIES SOLD WHO DID YOU ACCOUNT TO? SOON COME WE WILL SEE THE REAL REVOLUTIONARY.ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
But Rawlings himself is more corrupt
that id.iot must rather return the bribe that he took from Abacha to the poor people of Nigeria. You cannot talk about disdain for corruption when you yourself is the perfect postal child of corruption. Where is his moral aptitude when this liar and murderer refused to let the citizenry of this nation know how he, a pauper who is: (1) a known creditor of yo ke gari (2) a ***barred word*** who stole seats from a government helicopter (3) never own a business (4) had a meagre salary as head of state refused to tell Ghanaians how he managed to finance the education of his children at prestigious universities abroad and suddenly turns into a billionaire who lives in affluence, driving around in fast cars, and speed boats? Hello Ghanaians! Put on your critical thinking caps on for once and asked this man these hard questions that he has avoided to answer and taken you lot to be ***barred word***.
If you dont like corruption then divorce ur wife.
AS for we the NDC when truth is mention we find our self uneasy
Rawlings should stop this hypothetical ***barred word***,if really and truly hate corruption, why not gate ur wife?
Smart JJ, doing so to save himself and wife from possible prosecution because he knows that unlike Kuffour, Nana Addo would use the state machinery to go after him and wife if he misbehaves. I blame the NDC, they are sitting down doing nothing for traitor JJ, their so called founder to destroy their party. The man who refused to do anything NDC, two weeks into Mills government is now accepting post from NPP.
Godbless you for always saying the truth
Oh! Thou righteous one, And what does thou sayest about the Abacha $5M ye took and denied but later confirmed having received some money from Abacha, but only $2m and not $5M. Whatever the case, you collected bribes from Abacha and that makes u as corrupt as the next politician. I get sick and want to throw up when I hear you claim to be above corruption. People living in glass house don't throw stones.Ugh!
