Kevin Taylor sends tribute to Nana Konadu
In the video, Taylor paid tribute to her legacy, acknowledging her significant impact on the nation, especially on women, and her resolute character as a wife and public figure.
However, his tribute came under scrutiny from the public, as many recalled how he slammed Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, blaming her for what happened to her daughter in parliament regarding the 'daughter of a murderer' comment.
The incident occurred on February 4, 2025, when a Member of Parliament from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) reportedly referred to Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings in this manner during a parliamentary session.
In response, Taylor expressed his outrage at Nana Konadu, suggesting that her political actions and affiliations might have contributed to the disrespect faced by her daughter.
He questioned her political decisions and suggested that her choices might have led to the current situation.

After Nana Konadu's passing, while recognising that he might have disagreed with her political decisions in the past, he emphasised that this does not diminish her humanity or the sadness of her death.
Another point of Taylor's message was a strong plea to the public and media to grant the bereaved family the privacy they need to mourn, reflect, and make necessary arrangements.
He discouraged people from unnecessarily intruding on them, stressing the importance of allowing them space. He concluded with a prayer for her soul, asking for God's judgment and mercy, and expressed hope that she finds peace.
