President Akufo-Addo has expressed his sympathies for the loss of John Kumah, the deputy finance minister and member of parliament for Ejisu.
The President expressed his regret, saying that the loss of Dr. Kumah has placed the administration and himself in a state of mourning as they have lost a source of dynamic vitality.
In a tribute to the late appointment, President Akufo-Addo described Dr. Kumah as a modest, hardworking person who was committed to the country’s progress.
“I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of the sudden death of the Deputy Minister for Finance and Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Hon. John Ampontuah Kumah, whose untimely passing has left us all bereft of a bright, energetic light in our midst.”
“I knew him very well both in my days as Leader of the Opposition and as President of the Republic, and his warmth, humility, and genuine concern for others endeared him to me and to all who crossed his path.
“His unwavering dedication to service, his tireless commitment to the betterment of our nation, and his profound passion for uplifting the lives of the people of Ejisu and Ghana were evident to all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
” He was a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party in the Ejisu constituency, which he served with great enthusiasm and devotion as a Member of Parliament,” he said.
Following a brief illness, Dr. John Kumah, 45, departed this life in the early hours of Thursday, March 7.
