The seasoned actress also talked about how Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the late Rawlings’ wife, introduced her to politics for the first time.
Maame Dokono also described the challenges she encountered as a result of her active participation in politics.
The multiple award-winning actress claimed that she joined both the NDP and the NDC so that she could transfer sides in the event that one of them lost.
