I Never Stole As President; I Made Lots of Sacrifices – Rawlings

Published

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has insisted he never engaged in any form of corruption while in power because he holds his integrity in high esteem.

“I did not come to public office to steal and never did. We had to go through a lot of sacrifices to get to today as a country, and there’s no way I was going to compromise on my integrity,” the former President said, when a delegation of Chiefs and Queenmothers from the Ave Traditional Area in the Volta Region, called on him on Wednesday.

“What has sustained some of us is our attachment to the principles of truth, justice and fair play – it is not a vulgar quest for materialism, a trait which has sadly perpetuated itself into the leadership structures of our society,” Rawlings added.
