The family made this known when they visited former president Jerry Rawlings at his residence in Accra on Wednesday, March 16, 2016.
The family had been to his residence to inform him about final funeral rites for the late MP.
Joseph Boakye Danquah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator for Abuakwa North, was stabbed to death at his East Legon residence.
Mr Danquah was stabbed multiple times by an unknown assailant (s) at his Shiashie residence in Accra, which led to the arrest of one suspect, Daniel Asiedu, a 19-year-old boy.
The suspect allegedly used a ladder to climb to a roof linking to a terrace and then entered the MP's bedroom through a window and stabbed him.
Family head of the late JB Danquah, George Amoah has however expressed misgivings about the pace of of prosecution.
"...We have stopped short of making political utterances hoping that all will be well with the investigations. In a situation like this the police has a duty, we believe to let the family or Ghanaians know where they are getting to," he added.
Meanwhile, former President Jerry John Rawlings has asked Parliament to intensify the implementation of death penalty for murderers.
He said, "We all believe in the New Testament, but if some people are determined to conduct their lives along the Old Testament, then please let’s not give them the other cheek to slap."

The former president added that, "If presidents of Ghana are refusing to sign execution orders of murderers on death row, parliament must re-look at the law to decentralise that executive power to make it possible for regional security councils to execute those orders."
