The Secretary to the local funeral planning committee of Anlo Traditional area, Agbotadua Kumasah said Rawlings was installed as a chief in Anlo, so it was just right to have funeral rites done in his honor.
“Until his burial today, we were expecting his body to be released to us so now that they are going to bury him in Accra, we as Anlos will organise our own traditional burial for him,” he was quoted to have said.
