The late Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu in the Ashanti Region, John Ampontuah Kumah, will be laid to rest on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
The final funeral rites are slated to occur on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
The 45-year-old legislator passed away earlier this month after a brief illness, leaving behind a wife and six children.
Known affectionately as Lawyer John Kumah among his constituents, he was widely esteemed for his integrity and dedication to job creation.
He served as a beacon of hope for both the young and old within his community.
A one-week observance took place in Ejisu on Thursday, where dignitaries, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and sympathizers gathered at Kumah’s hometown to mourn his passing.
Many attendees, including his constituents, wore red and black attire as a symbol of their grief and sorrow. They fondly remembered Kumah as a diligent individual who devoted his life to public service.
