Former President Jerry John Rawlings, has disclosed that he did not enjoy being in office, but had to stay on to help stabilise the country.

Speaking to Starr FM on his 69th birthday on Wednesday, Former President Rawlings said  that being a president was a very demanding job which he does not miss anymore.

According to him, “…It was a very tasking situation for all of us…some of us didn’t enjoy being in office…but we had to work hard and after 10 years of that kind of work during the revolution period you want to break along but you are forced to come back because you can see foolish promises are being made in the air so you stay on to help consolidate".
