Congratulations to Mawuko Dzikunu and Clifford Selasi Kekeshie for bringing this project to Keta.
A life-size statue of the late President Jerry John Rawlings has been unveiled in his hometown, Keta-Dzelukope, to honour his contributions to Ghana’s political history.
Residents say they, ”we hope to see this portion become a tourist site and a gallery where people can walk in and watch the transitional moments of Jerry John Rawlings” they said ahead of the unveiling.
They are also concerned about maintenance.
”We also play a key factor thus a light and water recovery shed can be erected if possible above the statue to make it so preservable, let the Ghana Tourism Authority show interest in this project and make it a part of their project also”.
Jerry John Rawlings (22 June 1947 – 12 November 2020)[1] was a Ghanaian military officer, aviator, and politician who led the country briefly in 1979 and then from 1981 to 2001.
