The attention of the Funeral Planning Committee of late former President Jerry John Rawlings has been drawn to a publication on myjoyonline.com stating that the Anlo Traditional Council has apologized over the confusion that surrounded the organization of the former President’s funeral.
The report quotes the Chairman of the Funeral Planning Committee, former Foreign Minister, James Victor Gbeho as speaking on behalf of the Anlo Traditional Council.
The Committee wishes to make it clear that the report as presented by myjoyonline.com is an unfortunate and reckless misrepresentation.
The meeting with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, which took place on Thursday, February 18, 2021 was convened at the request of the Funeral Planning Committee and the nuclear family of former President Rawlings to thank the President and Government for organizing a State Funeral for the departed former President. At no point was reference made to the Anlo Traditional Council.
