The final funeral rites of the former member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram in the Greater Accra region, Mr. E.T. Mensah began 5 January 2024 at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra.
The politician who until his death was a member of the Council of State, died late last year while undergoing medical treatment in South Africa.
Born on 17 May 1946, he held ministerial portfolios such as Youth and Sports, Education, Water Resources, Works and Housing as well as Employment and Social Welfare.
Before these, he was the Mayor of Accra from 1982 to 1992.
Tributes have been pouring in for the late statesman.
All his life’s constituencies the family, political party the National Democratic Congress NDC, the political class, natives of Ningo-Prampram, and the Methodist Church described the late Mr E T Mensah as a man of humility, foresight, and organizational abilities.
The corollary to the common thread was that his absence from Ghana’s body politics through death leaves his admirers with a heavy heart.
He will be buried at Prampram on Saturday 6 January 2024.
