Most Ghanaians believe that the Ahwoi brothers who served under late Presidents Jerry Rawlings and John Evans Atta Mills respectively have amassed a lot of wealth for themselves despite any credible evidence to back it.<\/p>\n

This has been the notion because they have been notable figures during the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) era with key positions.<\/p>\n

However, they say those beliefs were not the case since the reality was glaring after the exit of the NDC from power.<\/p>\n

According to them, their modest and simple lifestyle demystified the notion about them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to but as they\u00a0say money doesn\u2019t hide. So once we got out of government and people saw the simple lifestyle that we were living I think they realized that there might be a lot of exaggeration. So it died down with time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yes when we were in government we used to hear that a lot. Of course not so much with Rawlings because then it was obvious that wealth was not part of the governance phenomenon,\u201d Professor Kwabena Ahwoi explained on\u00a0GHOne TV.<\/p>\n

He continued \u201cBut when we entered constitutional rule, especially after Rawlings that\u2019s when those stories started coming but as I said money doesn\u2019t hide. If you are rich it will manifest one way or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The senior Ahwoi, also known as Uncle Ato added that he had to sacrifice his education at some point in his life in order to pull his other siblings along.<\/p>\n

He explained that he had to do this in order to have them come to a level they would not be a burden on him and this plan worked perfectly with all of them doing well in their respective careers.<\/p>\n

The seven siblings have put together a book yet to be outdoored to honour their late mother who passed in 2020.<\/p>\n
