Rawlings’ family makes demand of Ghana Govt

 

The families of former Ghana President Jerry Rawlings are appealing to government to allow the remains of the late ruler be buried in Keta in the Volta region.

Former President Rawlings, who was also the founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) died on Thursday, November 12, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.

Speaking to the media in Keta shortly after his death, Spokesperson for the Agbotui, Nyaho, Husunu and allied families, Mr. Paul Badu noted that burying Mr. Rawlings on the soil of Keta would be appropriate and resonate with their wishes.

This comes after the leadership of the NDC, led by former President John Dramani Mahama, called on the family of the late President Jerry John Rawlings at his Ridge residence in Accra.
