Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Kumi. Dr. Bawumia described Kumi as a loyal supporter and personal friend, expressing deep sorrow over his sudden passing.
“We got the news while we were at the NEC meeting yesterday. Since then, we have not all been able to recover from the shock,” Dr. Bawumia said. “I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the fact that he has passed.”
Dr. Bawumia recounted his last moments with Kumi, revealing they spent time together just days before his passing. “Just this past Friday, I was with him at my house, and we had a good chat. Hearing this beats my mind because on that day, nothing about him showed that he was ill or sick.”
The former Vice President offered his condolences to the bereaved family and pledged his full support during their time of mourning. “We have come home to commiserate with you as families… Whatever decision you will take as a family regarding the burial, do not take me out.”
