Emmanuel Teye Mensah, a former Member of Parliament for Ningo/Prampram, says the demise of former President Jerry John Rawlings is hard to take-in, adding that it took a while for him to believe that the former President was no more.
According to him, as a man who was still mourning his former boss, it was only appropriate he stayed indoors which explained his absence at the just-ended party’s vigil in honour of its Founder.
“I am very weak and in a state of mourning which is why I was absent at the vigil. There is no problem though. I just wanted to mourn my Founder indoors and nothing more,” he told Chief Jerry Forson on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem on Monday.
