Former special prosecutor, Martin Amidu says the good works of the late formal President Jerry John Rawlings are confessed even by those he considered as traitors.
In a heartfelt tribute to his late friend, Martin Amidu mentioned that the leadership qualities exhibited by Rawlings throughout his tenure of office has earned him a notable position in the archives of the history of politics.
“Even the traitors who once claimed to be his comrades who hurt him most unjustifiably before his demise attests in their traitorous books to his qualities as a statesman and a leader to whom they and the nation owe gratitude.”
He described the legacy of Rawlings as unmatched and unrivaled.
According to him, he is yet to come across an African leader who fought for a system free of greed and corruption in a manner that the late former President did.
Aside Rawlings “none has striven so mightily in the sincere defence of truth and justice, and none has done more to uphold the standards of our national honour free from greed and corruption,” he said.
The former Special Prosecutor also lauded the immense contributions Rawlings made to Ghana’s democracy; one that is enviable by all.
He extended his condolences to the bereaved family and prayed that the Almighty grants the wife and children he left behind the strength to bear their sorrow.
“My heart goes out to that valiant woman, with famous blood of Ashanti royalty in her veins, who sustained the former Chairman and former President through all his travails and problems and brought up with their charm and beauty the three daughters and a son who mourn their Great father to-day.
"May the Holy Trinity in our Catholic faith grant her and her children the strength to bear their sorrow”.
