Mr. Victor Smith, a former aide to late ex-President Jerry Rawlings has judged his former boss favourably, stating that he will go down in history as a man whose contributions have ensured peace and stability in the country’s socio-political space and democracy.
For him, Rawlings’ effort in putting together the 1992 Constitution and his signing of same into law is a significant action the founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be dearly remembered for.
Victor Smith who served as Ghana s Ambassador to the Czech Republic and later, High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland believes, although the events marking the change from military to democratic rule should have led to a faster growth of the Ghanaian economy, he said that fundamental bold step in Ghana’s political development is a bequest worth celebrating.
