Late John Kumah's spokesperson recounts what happened
According to Bismark, the MP came from Accra to Ejisu on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. After picking him up from the airport, they expected him to be present at the 67th Independence Day celebration, but he could not.
“We picked him from the airport and brought him home. We were expecting him to come to parade ground yesterday (March 6, 2024). Unfortunately, he could not come so we decided this morning to take him to Accra. So that he takes the next available flight to continue his treatment in Germany.”
“Unfortunately, he was not fit enough to board the plane, so we decided to take an ambulance and take him to Accra.”
Bismark said that one of John Kumah's personal doctors joined him from Accra so he could monitor the MP.
“We brought one of his medical doctors from Accra, so the doctor slept with him throughout the night. On their way to Accra, we got a call from the driver that unfortunately he has passed on at Suhum.”
Bismark added that this is unfortunate news for Ejisu.
“It is very tragic news to us. Ejisu constituency has lost somebody at 45 years. A first time member of parliament. This is the news we least expected.”
