The father of the late Ejisu Member of Parliament (MP), John Kumah, spoke out in an interview with journalists regarding his son’s passing.
According to him, his son had come home to take part in the 67th Independence Day celebration on March 6, 2024, but unexpectedly fell ill and decided to proceed with his plans.
The MP’s health worsened, prompting an ambulance to be called to transport him to Accra as he was deemed unfit to board a flight.
Unfortunately, while en route to Accra on Thursday, his condition took a turn for the worse, leading the ambulance to redirect to the Suhum Government Hospital, where he was later declared deceased. His body has since been transferred to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
Speaking about the sad news, he said in an interview with Nhyira FM:
“He called the constituency Chairman to inform him he was in town but could not attend the celebration due to ill health so he should get in touch with one Prince for GH₵10,000 to mark the celebration,”
Mr Kumah disclosed that when they went to bed that evening, he was restless and couldn’t sleep, but anytime he went to check on his son, he was peacefully asleep.
“I didn’t understand what was happening but finally, day broke and we were going about our duties normally. He looked at me very quietly throughout the day and smiled.
“I asked what the problem was and he just told me it was nothing but from what I saw during those last moments, I’m convinced he knew where he was going and is happy,” he recounted amidst tears from mourners who had gathered at their residence in Ejisu.
