In a TikTok video, Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings was captured talking to two other female MPs.

The two are Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, a Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, and Queenstar Maame Pokuah Sawyerr, a member of parliament for Agona East.

Queenstar Maame Pokuah Sawyerr and Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings were engaged in a conversation. They were joined by Phillis Naa Koryo Okunor.

The MP for Agona East was already speaking Twi with Dr Agyemang-Rawlings when the MP for Awutu Senya East joined them.

Zanetor initially spoke English and said to Phillis that she had made her out.

“Today I know it’s you. I’m memorising your face.”

She then went ahead to complain to Queenstar that she is often unable to make Phillis out and said in Twi that her change of makeup is to blame for the identification challenge.

“She keeps changing her makeup so I am unable to identify her,” Zanetor said jokingly.

Even though J.J Rawlings did not speak fluent Twi, his wife Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings is from the Ashanti Region and a direct descendant of the royal family. She has stated a few times that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is her cousin.
