Former Ghana Aviation Minister Joseph Kofi Addah is laid to rest in his hometown on Saturday, February 12, 2022.
The Burial service was conducted by Most Reverend Alfred Agyenta, Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Catholic diocese.
Families, friends and members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) were massively represented in their numbers to pay their last respect to the late Joseph Kofi Addah.
Meanwhile, representing the President of the Republic, the Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia led a government delegation to pay the last respect to the former Aviation Minister and MP, Joseph Kofi Addah.
However, the burial service ceremony which was held at a popular COS Park in Navrongo was bombarded with tears, pains and sorrow especially during the time for tribute reading.
Most Reverend Alfred Agyenta, Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Catholic diocese, during his sermon admonished politicians to see politics as a ‘clean’ venture and not ‘dirty’ as they normally claim (politics is a dirty game) as he encouraged them to emulate the good leadership of the late Kofi Addah and some of the intervention he brought for his good people, such as health care delivery which has contributed massively in reducing maternal and infant mortality in Navrongo.
“We are begging the lord to grant us politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of our society, who are genuinely disturbed by the state of our people and who are genuinely disturbed by lives of the poor and the vulnerable. We believe, the Hon. Kofi Adda has played his part in the best of his ability. We thank him for his efforts and pray he found peace in the bosom of the lord. May his family take consolation in our faith and in our hope we shall remember Kofi”. Most Reverend Alfred Agyenta concluded
The late Kofi Adda died at the age of 65, on Thursday, October 14, 2021, at the Legon Hospital where he was rushed for medical care after he complained of feeling dizzy.
