Zanetor's eulogy comes after attack on Rawlings

While she has often posted about her father, who passed away in November 2020 at 73, the latest eulogy from Zanetor comes off as a subtle reply following the recent attack on Rawlings' legacy in Parliament.

It will be recalled that an MP, believed to be from the Minority side, shouted at Zanetor to sit down while she attempted to make a submission on the floor of Parliament.

Minority leader Alex Afenyo-Markin was speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, February 4, when Dr Rawlings attempted to make a statement.

The voice of the yet-to-be-identified MP was heard saying "daughter of a murderer sit down", ostensibly referring to Zanetor.

Watch the video below:

Following the incident, many condemned the MP for using what they deemed as unparliamentary language. Some even accused Damongo MP, Samuel Abu Jinapor, of being the one to have uttered those words. But he has since organised a press conference to deny the allegations.
