NDC Would Have Organized Rawlings’ Funeral In A Better Way Than What Gov’t, Family Did – Otokunor

Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor has bemoaned the exclusion of the party from its founder, late Jerry John Rawlings’ burial services.

Speaking in an interview with TV3’s Komla Adom after filing past the remains of Mr Rawlings at the Accra International Conference Centre on Monday January 25, Otokunor noted that the ongoing ceremony would have been better organized if the NDC had been involved in the planning by the government.

“Some of us are a reflection of what he stood for and so we are in deep sorrow , we are very sad. We think that the nation has lost greatly , some of us have lost very greatly. We are inspired and consolation in the fact that Rawlings left us something an unfinished business, an unfinished service to the nation  which we have to continue.”

“We would have wished to honour Rawlings in a more better  and greater , more friendly and inclusive way  than what we have seen the government  lead us to .There are few problems with family  and government , and the government deliberately  and consciously excluding the NDC , a political Party that he founded,” Otokunor bemoaned.
