The Member of Parliament for Guan, Fred Agbenyo, has called for a befitting state burial for the late former First Lady of Ghana, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
Madam Konadu, the wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, passed away on Thursday at the Ridge Hospital in Accra at the age of 76.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings served as Ghana’s longest-serving First Lady, holding the position across both the military and civilian administrations led by her husband.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday, some Members of Parliament paid tribute to her memory.
“She has played her role; she has contributed, she has served this country very well. I believe that she deserves a state burial. I believe that we need to give her a befitting burial that she rightly deserves.
“She has played her role and posterity will remember her kindly,” the Member of Parliament for Guan said.
Fomena MP Andrew Asiamah Amoako, who doubles as the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, also stated, “I think we can only wish her soul God’s presence and God’s peaceful place so that the soul can rest. And we wish the family strength to stand this tragic situation, I mean, nobody expected it.”
