But, Dr. Lartey, in an interview with Rainbowradioonline.com, said he sees no reason why we should ask her to step down because the husband has passed. Dr. Lartey added that Mrs. Agyeman-Rawlings believes in the country and would want to contribute to its development. Dr. Lartey said he has personally forgiven the late Rawlings for any wrongs he did him and his family. He indicated that his brother Danny Lartey nearly died under the late Rawlings because his late father had written something about the Rawlings's chain in his newspaper.
