In other news, the first daughter of the late former President Ft Lt Jerry John Rawlings, Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings, has recounted childhood memories with her late father on camera.

In the video interview with GHOne prior to the demise of the beloved ex-president, Zanetor looked so excited as she remembered what was termed as 'wicked hilariousness' on the part of her dad.

A case in point was when Zanetor was being taught how to fly a plane by her father and he literally 'abandoned' her to fly alone when she did not have full confidence in her skill.
