The National Democratic Congress (NDC) joined hundreds of mourners in Ziavi-Lume, Volta Region, to lay to rest Richard Muntari Issa Kafaba, a former Ho Central Constituency Propaganda Secretary.
Until his demise, he was the Chairman of the Sokode Lokoe Women’s Training branch of the NDC.
Tributes poured in, celebrating Kafaba’s tireless advocacy, compassion, and dedication to the party.
The NDC described him as “a voice for the voiceless” and a “champion for justice.”
“Muntari was more than just a leader; he was a voice for the voiceless, a champion for justice, and a tireless advocate for change. His passion for the NDC was evident in every campaign he undertook, every message he communicated, and every heart he touched. He understood the power of words and used them to inspire and mobilize, bringing people together for a common cause.
“Beyond his political work, Muntari was a friend to many-a compassionate listener and a source of encouragement. His genuine concern for the well-being of others left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He believed in the strength of community and worked diligently to ensure that everyone felt included and empowered,” stated the NDC in a tribute.
His children remembered him as a loving father, guiding them with values like hard work, resilience, and kindness.
“You were so much more than just our father. You were our guide, our protector, our rock. You instilled so many values in us – hard work, resilience, kindness, and love. And now, more than ever, we appreciate every lesson you taught us,” they said.
The NDC urged members to work towards securing victory in the 2024 general elections to honour Kafaba’s legacy.
“As we celebrate his life, let us honour his memory by continuing his legacy of service, dedication, and unity. Let us carry forward the ideals he stood for and the love he shared. Comrade Muntari has longed for the return of the party to govern this nation, we want to assure everyone seated here that we will win the general elections come 7th of December 2024,” it stated.
Ziavi’s traditional authorities praised his integrity, foresight, and nation-building efforts.
Kafaba, a farmer and devoted NDC member, left behind eight children and one grandchild.
