Late Kofi Annan forced me to open a foreign bank account – Rawlings

Former President of the Republic of Ghana- head of state for a combine period of nineteen (19)- Jerry John Rawlings has revealed that but for the intervention of a respected figure Kofi Annan who ‘forced’ him to open a foreign bank account, he had never owned any bank account outside the shores of Ghana.

He was addressing Cadres and National Democratic Congress in Kumasi over the last weekend where he urged the cadres of the party to continue to stand for and by the principles underlying the founding of the NDC.

“My wife and I opened a foreign account at the urging of former United Nations General Secretary, Kofi Annan. He told me he will need me to help in the UN anti AIDS campaign and once in while the UN will pay me some allowance.” He said.

“My wife and I were in office for nineteen years, by the time we were leaving office, we did not have even one dollar foreign account”, he added.

He further revealed that the foreign bank account was no longer functional following the closure of the program for which it was opened.

“The campaign has ended long ago and that account has been closed. I don’t have any hidden foreign account and she (his wife) does not’’.

Mr Rawlings in a similar event in Accra last year revealed a secret about his house: He said he spent years, building his house bit by bit before it reached where it reached- that it took them more than thirteen (13)years to put up that personal house at Adjiringanno, a plush suburb of Accra. He said at the time he began, the place was a bush without any buildings around.

It is now fully developed.

“When we started putting up that structure, there was no building in that part of town, not the Trassaco Estates” he said.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it. He indicated that he has come back to Ghana to open the eyes of ignorant Ghanaians so that they see the light.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
