No politician attended the funeral of the woman who suffered a 'BOMB ATTACK' aimed at Kwame Nkrumah when she was presenting a bouquet to him. This was was bed ridding for over 50 years and not even a pesewa was offered to her by any government. This woman was maimed, she lived like a pig ,in a severe poverty. This happened to her when she was 13 years. What a nation.
