MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has blamed the reluctant nature of some Ghanaians on the leadership of former President, Jerry John Rawlings.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Rawlings was not the best leader for the country because he did not encourage hard work but rather made Ghanaians feel entitled to what they do not deserve.

“This perception that there are money rituals when we were growing up it was there but the person who worsened the situation, I will be blunt with you was ex-president Rawlings. He made people lazy and over-dependent on government. Because when he came, he killed and collapsed successful Ghanaian businesses and allowed the ordinary workers to run the business.”

He added that Rawlings during his tenor as a military leader collapsed all private businesses by killing or driving leaders away and the state taking over the businesses.

Kennedy also said Rawlings made people think that owners of private businesses are cheats and that they need to rebel.

“Rawlings created the impression that the owners of the businesses were cheating them. He indoctrinated Ghanaians to the extent that everything was the government. So, you see that today, most of our people have become beggars and they always depend on the government for everything.”

“That is the remote cause of what we are experiencing today. Everybody thinks the government is supposed to provide everything but that is not true in any part of the world. Anybody who depends solely on government will not succeed in life,” he said on YFM.
