A formal driver of formal President, J.J Rawlings, Braimah Issaka has said that the wife of the formal president, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings had no power during the PNDC era.
According to him, during the PNDC era, she was printing T-Shirts for the soldiers to sell for her by the roadside at ‘37.’
Braimah Issaka said if the formal first lady had power then it was not over the country’s policies or military as she could not even order any soldier to do anything. If she had power then it was over her husband.
‘If she became powerful then it was after the initiation of the 31st December Women’s Movement as that movement became powerful.’
He indicated he went into exile so if she became powerful then he ‘can’t tell.’
Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings was accused by a former soldier for killing his own driver as he knew too much about her.
But Braimah Issaka in an interview on Angel FM said Konadu Agyemang Rawlings could not even go to the PNDC Head Office.
“Rawlings could spend a week at Burma Camp,” he said. Adding that after spending a week there, he will tell them to take him home and later go back to the Camp.
Though Issaka does not know how powerful the formal first lady became when he left Ghana, he does not believe she was powerful enough to change any policy or give orders.
