The managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako has reiterated his dislike for what he describes the politics of former President Jerry Rawlings� politics. According to him former President�s continuous criticism of successive governments for their supposed inaction in the fight against corruption is unfair. Jerry Rawlings at a ceremony on Thursday at the University of Education, Winneba asked President John Dramani Mahama to rid his government of corruption. �� . People with conscience are sometimes appalled by the extreme insensitivity displayed by some political appointees. The unprecedented levels of corruption, offensive show of power and opulence by some at a time when our country requires prudence and frugality is something that I call on President Mahama and his vice to set their eyes on,�� he said. According to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) founder, the corruption canker cannot be dealt with if ��we do not take on leaders and so-called untouchables��. �We need to restore Ghana to a status of a country worth dying for,� he added. But speaking on news analysis program, NewsFile on Accra based JoyFM, Mr. Baako questioned the former president�s approach in the fight against corruption during his term of office. �What did Mr. Rawlings do to cure the situation?, Mr. Baako asked. Mr. Baako who is known for critiquing the former president was however quick to add: �I do not hate Rawlings, I detest his politics� �I am told that he asked Kofi Adams to make sure I got a ticket to Mecca. For him to have thought of me in that manner shows that he�s a good man,� he added.
