The Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Baroness Patricia Scotland, has described the late former President Jerry John Rawlings as “an emblem of freedom, hope and inspiration who represented the best of Africa”.
She said the former President was not just loved by the people of Ghana but he was also an icon of Africa who represented freedom, liberty, good governance and the best of man.
Courtesy call
In a touching tribute during a courtesy call on Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and the family last Monday, the Commonwealth Secretary-General said she had come to pay homage to what President Rawlings strove to achieve during his lifetime.
