The venue, which has hosted several historic national events, is being prepared to accommodate dignitaries, family members, and citizens who will gather to pay their last respects.
During preparations, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the eldest daughter of Nana Konadu and Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, was seen leading her siblings and extended family.
