My wife and I left office cashless – Rawlings

 

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has revealed that after 19 years in office as a military and democratic leader, he and former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings left office without a dollar in account.

He claimed that contrary to what was being speculated he owned a Swiss account in which several millions of dollars were stashed in, it was only after his exit from power on January 7, 2001 that he open a foreign account.

Speaking at the National Cadres conference for the middle belt held at Kumasi in the Ashanti region which was under the theme: “Effective mobilisation and organization” for victory 2020: The role of cadres” How many of you would be believe that after 19 years in office, My wife and I we leave office we did not have one dollar in any foreign or local account. In the first place we didn’t own a foreign account then. We only did after we left office”

John Rawling revealed that but for the intervention of a respected figure the late Kofi Annan who ‘forced’ him to open a foreign bank account, he had never owned any bank account outside the shores of Ghana.
