Addressing the media, a man who identified himself as the family head's linguist explained that Roman Fada's approach did not align with the family's criteria for funding their beloved's funeral.

He further acknowledged that a political party approached them to inquire about the funeral arrangement and how to support them, but they refused to share any details.

He, therefore, refuted claims that their family had received money from any political party to either fund Akua Donkor's funeral or resist Roman Fada's nomination as GFP flagbearer.
