Condemnation of Derogatory Remark Toward Klottey Korle NDC Member

On February 4, 2025, during a parliamentary session in Ghana, an unidentified member of the Minority side directed a deeply derogatory remark at Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle and daughter of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings. The comment referred to her as the "daughter of a murderer," referencing allegations against her father.

This incident has sparked significant outrage and condemnation. Members of the Klottey Korle constituency have petitioned Parliament, urging the Speaker to take decisive action against the unidentified MP responsible for the remark.
