“Let us take oaths today in the presence of God to work conscientiously to establish these virtues  of probity, accountability and transparency in our own individual lives  and in the social and political  life and service of  our country Ghana.

“This will be the most worthy legacy and monument we can build to his name.”

He further advised the family of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings to rely on Jesus Christ whenever they miss their dead loved one.

He said the wife and children will definitely miss him because they knew him more than anyone else.

Mr Palmer-Buckle said “At this juncture let me address you the young ones here present more especially   Zanetor, Yaa Asantewaa, Amina and Kimathi.

“Jerry, your dear father is no more. You will miss him greatly because only you knew him  differently from all other  persons.

“Dear Madam Nana Konadu, you will greatly miss him with whom you share over six decades of life . I hear it all started even earlier in Achimota School. No one knew Jerry better than you  did.

“God gave him, to you and you loved him and shared his dreams and his life projects . Our Lord Jesus Christ the savior is by your side and he says to you that dear family, blessed are you who mourn for you will be comforted . May God comfort you, never forget to pray in times of loneliness and sorrow.”

The requiem mass was attended by dignitaries including President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Former President John Dramani Mahama.

It was held at the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Accra.

Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife Samira Bawumia also attended the event.
