Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has said contrary to claims by his predecessor Jerry John Rawlings that he sold a lot of state property to himself and his family during his two-term tenure as president from 2001 to 2009, he ( Kufuor) never did.
A letter from Mr Kufuor’s office signed by Dr Kwabena Osei Adubofour on Monday, 28 May 2018, said Mr Kufuor “never divested any state property to himself or his family members”.
The letter was in response to Mr Rawlings’ latest flak against Mr Kufuor and former president John Mahama – whom he described as “evil” and “rogue”, respectively – for destroying the country during their tenures.
Mr Rawlings later, via a statement, withdrew his comment and apologised for it.
Nonetheless, Mr Kufuor clarified in the statement that all “the divestiture of state properties and enterprises that took place during his tenure in office was done legally and according to laid-down procedures, rules, and regulations, and to the utmost benefit of the people of Ghana.”
Mr Kufuor also said at no point in time, during his presidency, did he ever promote tribalism nor used same as the yardstick for appointing or promoting personnel in the security services.

Rawlings only performed better than the rogue conman Ford D. Mahama.... Kufour performed far better than all the 4th republic presidents....... The P(NDC) has waisted close to 30 years of our life as a country. They have no achievement to celebrate. Rawlings supervised the selling of most state owned enterprises some of which were sold to his wife. He must give us a break and enjoy his retirement with his grand children.... By the way where is the $5M bribe Rawlings took from Abacha?
All of Professor Awoonors sons work at Vodafone! Was prof awoonor Ndc or npp? Medic people will pretend and complain about Vodafone in front of their supporters and then quietly, on their blind side, make sure their kids are employed there without being qualified or doing any extraordinary work. 2 of awoonors sons are living in luxury apartments owned by Vodafone while better qualified personnel have to look for accommodation and drive to work. And these personnel were overlooked for those positions. Ghana airways was at the brink of collapse during Rawlings time, so kindly zip it! 🤐
JJ DOES NOT GET ANY SERIOUS ATTENTION HE EXPECTS, BECAUSE IS RECKLESS, INSINCERE AND NOTORIOUS. HE HAS SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH EVERYBODY, IN AND OUT OF HIS OWN PARTY. HE IS HATED BY MANY IN NDC AND HE IS A MOCKED BY NON-NDC. HE ALWAY WANTS TO GET ATTENTION AND HE THINKS THE BEST BUT VERY INSINCERE WAY TO GET IT IS WHEN HE ATTACH PRESIDENT KUFFOUR OR ANOTHER PROMINENT PERSON. HE IS NOTORIOUS AND ONLY GET ATTENTION FOR WRONG ACTS ALL THROUGH HIS LIFE. HE IS A DISGRACE TO HIS FAMILY AND GHANAIAN SOCIETY. I SHALL ORGANAIZE NO-NONSESE CITIZENS TO HOOT AT HIM THE NEXT TIME HE COMES TO KUMASI. HE MEETS SOME VOTARIAN AT MAPE AND MADE SUCH STUPIDDDDD AND NASSTY REMARKS ABOUT OTHERS AND NON OF THE LEADERS OF THE PLACE CONDEMN IT. WE SHALL SHOW HIM THAT WE ALSO LOVE KUFFOUR AT KUMASI AND SHALL MAKE RAWLINGS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN KUMASI TO TEACH HIM A LESSON.
