Parliament is still in a state of mourning a day after the announcement of the passing of the Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Ejisu, John Kumah.

On Thursday, March 7, the unexpected news of the Deputy Minister’s passing resulted in the suspension of the Parliament’s afternoon session.

Today, March 8, both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs gathered in the chamber wearing black to mourn the late John Kumah.

The seat that he once occupied in Parliament was adorned with a red ribbon.

The vacancy created will be occupied after a bye-election has been held.

The late Deputy Finance Minister and MP for Ejisu Constituency joined the silent majority in the wee hours of Thursday March 7, 2024 after a short illness.

He was survived by his wife, Apostle Lilian Kumah, and six children.
