The Agyeman-Rawlings family on Friday April 17, 2026, visited former Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) member, General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah and his family to console him over the loss of his wife, Margaret Nunoo-Mensah, who passed away in February.
Led by Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the delegation which included Ms. Yaa Asantewaa Agyeman-Rawlings and Amina Agyeman-Rawlings, in consoling the Nunoo-Mensah family said the visit was to honour the relationship that was built “before us” between the two families.
“We are here because we understand the true value of friendship and we do express our sincere condolences to the family. Relationships matter; friendship matter,” Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings said.
General Nunoo-Mensah, a former Chief of Defence Staff during the PNDC and later National Security Advisor under President John Evans Atta Mills, said it was comforting that the Agyeman-Rawlings family had visited at a time when they were also enduring the pain of losing their mother.
He recalled his special relationship with President Jerry John Rawlings and regaled the meeting with memorable times spent with the late former President.
“I am very grateful,” General Nunoo Mensah stated.
General Nunoo-Mensah was joined at the meeting by his children, Ben Nunoo-Mensah, Joseph Nunoo-Mensah, Fred Nunoo-Mensah and Amanda Nunoo-Mensah.
General Nunoo-Mensah was appointed Chief of Defence Staff by the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) in 1979.
He was a member of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) which took power in 1981. In 2009 he was appointed the National Security Advisor by President Atta Mills.
General Nunoo-Mensah and Margaret Nunoo-Mensah were married on August 10, 1968.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
