John Kumah dies
This is the second death this year related to the New Patriotic Party.
On March 7, the NPP was hit with the news of the sudden passing of John Ampontuah Kumah, Member of Parliament for Ejisu and Deputy Finance Minister.
He had died in an ambulance at Suhum en route to the airport, where he was expected to catch a flight to Germany for treatment.
Following his death, rumours abound as to what may have caused the death of the MP.
Renowned Radio presenter Captain Smart had alleged that the deputy minister was poisoned.
According to him, the Minister and some of his companions were given roasted guinea fowl meat while on a campaign tour with the Vice President, Dr Mahamud Bawumia, in the north.
The meat, he alleged, had been poisoned, and its aftereffect is what had contributed to the ailing health of the former deputy minister.
John Kumah left behind a wife and six children.
