Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, former first lady of Ghana in an interview with Bola Ray yesterday stated that, she paid the University fees of the late BBC broadcast journalist-Komla Dumor.
Mrs Rawlings said: “I paid Komla Dumor’s fees at the university.”
But the family of Komla Dumor has in a statement literally called Konadu Agyeman Rawlings a goddam liar—saying, “By the time Student Fees were introduced, Komla had already graduated from the University of Ghana. He was therefore never in a position to be required to pay fees to begin with.”

PRESS RELEASE – 30th June 2016
Academic Experience of the Late Komla Dumor of Blessed Memory
It has come to the attention of the Dumor Family that a statement has been made in public circles regarding my late brother Mr. Komla Dumor. As he is no longer here to respond for himself, we are compelled to set the record straight.
It has been suggested that Komla received assistance in paying his University fees. Let me state without any equivocation: This is patently false.
It is said that success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. This is not the first time that we have seen some individuals lay claim to the success Komla achieved.
As a family we felt the shared pride that all Ghanaians felt with what Komla was able to do with the 41 years he was granted. After all they had contributed to the growth and development of Komla.
We cannot however sit idly by while falsehoods are peddled that fly in the face of basic verifiable facts.
