General News of Monday, 3 February 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comFLASHBACK: Kufuor set the tone for corruption - General MosquitoFormer President, John Agyekum Kufuor and General Secretary of NDC, Johnson Aseidu NketiahGeneral Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah in February 2004 alleged that John Agyekum Kufour who was then the president of the country normalized corruption amongst government officials in the country. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito, has accused President Kufuor of setting up the tone for corruption that has engulfed his government by allegedly using state money to renovate his private residence in Accra. He said President Kufuor himself knew this and that was why he was finding it very difficult to either cause investigation or prosecute members of his government who have been accused of indulging in corrupt practices. General Mosquito noted that even ex-President Rawlings, whom President Kufuor and his government had been accusing of being undemocratic, allowed the CHRAJ to cause full scale investigations into the allegations leveled against Messrs P.V. Mahama said it was unfortunate that President Kufuor and his Attorney General had been going round telling Ghanaians to come forward to substantiate the various newspaper allegations that had been made against his ministers.
