Jerry John Rawlings, Former President of Ghana
A lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University(KTU) Dr Samuel Afriyie has described late Former President Jerry John Rawlings as an institution the country should not forget his track records.
According to Dr Afriyie, Ghana could not have gotten to this level of development without the involvement of former President Jerry John Rawlings who raised the curtains of the fourth republic.
Dr Samuel Afriyie indicates that Mr Rawlings became President for the ordinary Ghanaian which is a difficult strategy for the majority of Africa leaders to adopt.
The renowned Lecturer who was speaking on Kumasi-based Abusua FM Morning Show hosted by Kojo Marfo monitored by MyNewsGh.com underscored the need to have a foundation instituted to remember the values of Late Jerry John Rawlings.
