Rawlings greets Kufuor at a function.
Former President Jerry John Rawlings took advantage of a withdrawal of courtesies imposed on him barely two years after he stepped down and handed over to the Kufuor government.
The measure which at the time was widely condemned, by the party he founded, helped him interface with the ordinary Ghanaian in many ways. This is according to his former special aide, Kofi Adams.
Adams, currently a lawmaker for the Buem constituency in the Oti region, made the disclosure whiles contributing to tributes to his former boss on the floor of parliament on Friday. What Adams said of the episode.
The late former President Jerry John Rawlings
As the nation prepares for the funeral of late President Jerry John Rawlings from Monday, January 25, Parliament has insisted that his values of probity, responsibility, discipline and accountability be embedded in the national psyche.
Eulogising the former President by the legislators on Friday, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the Leader of the National Democratic Congress Side, set the tone by describing late President Rawlings as a “paradox or enigma,” with an enduring institution of values that would continue to define the people and guide the progress of the nation.
Clad in black or brown attires, members from both sides of the House extolled the bravery, forthrightness, discipline, love and fairness of the affable former Ghanaian Leader, popularly called “Papa J”, who passed on Thursday, 12th November, 2020, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
