Ekwow Spio-Gabrah, has disclosed that the late former president, Prof , refused to jail some corrupt officials of the Kufuor-led administration when he assumed office in 2009.
Spio-Gabrah, the was ready to prosecute the over 100 corruption cases at the time, but the Mills-led administration chose not to proceed with the cases because he wanted to encourage a new way of thinking emphasising forgiveness and avoiding recriminations.
Mills was informed about the development, he kicked against it because he wanted to be a father figure for all Ghanaians. "You are in the media.
There are over 100 corruption scandals.
Unfortunately, there were a similar 100 cases when Kufuor left office, and as our colleague, Hon.
Kwamena Ahwoi, wrote in a book, the NDC at the time, under Professor Mills, was ready to prosecute these over 100 cases. "President Rawlings then accepted it and said yes, this is a very good idea.
Mills just to inform him that is what we are going to do, and President Mills said no, I am father for all.
He wanted to encourage a new thinking in Ghana, where we can forgive and avoid recriminations," he added.
Mills was hoping to do was that if all the sins of the NPP had been forgiven, then hopefully the sins would not occur again.
Mills forgave them.
NPP wants to think that they did not do everything wrong. "That is what they say when they go on platforms that the NDC has no evidence against them from Kufuor's time because they were all innocent.
They have never committed any offence so that is why they have been encouraged to dip their hands and fingers into every pie that moves, putting us all in complete bankruptcy," he explained.
