President Akufo-Addo has assured the family of former President Rawlings of befitting burial to match his status as the founder of the 4th Republican constitution.

He said he is extremely disturbed and saddened by the demise of former President Rawlings and has extended his condolences to the bereaved family, wife and children. President Akufo-Addo made the remarks at the Jubilee House when a delegation of the former first family informed him of his death.

He described the former President as a man of vitality, dynamism and energy and finds it difficult to conceive the lifeless, dead body lying in a morgue.

He said despite the stormy relationship that existed between them over many years they came to see value in each other.
