John Ampontuah Kumah, the late Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, will be laid to rest on Saturday, May 18th, 2024. The final funeral rites will follow on Sunday, May 19th, 2024.
The 45-year-old lawmaker passed away earlier this month following a brief illness, leaving behind a wife and six children.
Referred to as Lawyer John Kumah by his constituents, he was widely esteemed for his integrity and dedicated efforts toward job creation.
He served as a beacon of hope, inspiring both the young and old within his community.
A one-week observance was held in Ejisu on Thursday, where dignitaries, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and sympathisers gathered at Kumah’s hometown to mourn his passing.
Many attendees, including his constituents, donned red and black attire as a sign of their sorrow and grief. They remembered Kumah as a hardworking individual who dedicated his life to public service.
