It was because of our faith and belief in  the truth, in justice and in fair play.<br \/>\nThe former President who  was speaking at a fundraising ceremony to mark the first anniversary  celebrations of the Concerned Muslim Youth of Ghana at the Kanda  National Mosque Project premises, said there was a time when he used to  pass on his criticisms through appropriate channels on the quiet, \u201cbut  the way some of these mistakes were continued, it was as if some of them  were quite deliberate or meant to destroy the NDC. But it is not  possible to destroy the NDC\u201d he said.<br \/>\nPresident Rawlings said  though the NPP invested huge amounts of money in the last election the  NDC beat them with virtually nothing because \u201cof our belief in noble and  human centred values. Let us not make the mistake of forgetting those  values. If we do so, we will be doing so at great cost.\u201d<br \/>\nThe  former President said the only way the NDC can correct some of the  misdeeds of the NPP regime is to \u201crehabilitate our own selves. We must  clean up our own act within the NDC party. Then and only then will we  have the strength and moral fibre to correct the misdeeds that Kufuor  left behind.<br \/>\nIf we do not clean up what he (Kufuor) left behind,  I am afraid things will not be that healthy for us in this country,\u201d  President Rawlings said.<br \/>\nNana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, President  of the 31st December Women\u2019s Movement and Vice-Chairperson of the NDC  accompanied President Rawlings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Ghanaian President, Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, on Saturday January 15, said it is not possible to destroy the National Democratic Congress (NDC) because the party represents the conscience of the people.
