During his visit on Monday, October 27, Bawumia expressed sympathy to the Rawlings family and acknowledged the late former First Lady’s immense contributions to Ghanaian society.
Meanwhile, Deputy CEO of the Forestry Commission, Elikem Kotoko, lamented the tendency of Ghanaians to celebrate public figures only after their death. He described Nana Konadu as a trailblazer whose achievements should have been more widely honoured during her lifetime.
