The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed its condolences to the family and people of Kumawu following the death of Phillip Atta Basoah, Member of Parliament for Kumawu.
Basoah, 54, died in the early hours of March 28.
His terrible death occurred exactly one week after that of Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei.
Mr. Basoah formerly worked as the Chief Executive for the Sekyere East District from June 2005 to January 2009, and he was also a tutor at the Agogo State College.
In a statement, the NPP praised him as “a gentle and astute politician whose contributions to the Party, constituents, and the development of Ghana through his work in Parliament cannot be overemphasized.”
Mr. Basoah was appointed Chairman of Parliament’s Employment, Social Welfare, and State Enterprise Committee due to his extensive legislative experience.
He was also a member of the Lands and Forestry Committee and the Selection Committee.
As a mark of respect for the late politician, the party has ordered that all party flags at its offices around the country be flown at half-mast for the next seven days.
