Member of Parliament (MP) for Weija-Gbawe Constituency, Tina Ayele Mensah, has reacted to the death of former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area, Patrick Kwesi Brako Kumor.
The MP in an interview with Accra-based Onua TV, linked the passing of Kumor to his removal as MCE in February 2024.
Mensah believes the removal was unjust and motivated by political factors adding that it “contributed to his deteriorating health, culminating in his high blood pressure.”
“My late MCE did not deserve to be dismissed from his duties. His only fault was supporting me during a challenging time, and for that, he paid the ultimate price,” Ms Mensah is heard saying.
“Patrick is not strong like me. If you sack me, I don’t care, but Patrick is not like me. Patrick couldn’t stop thinking about his sack and his blood pressure kept rising. ‘Afei se asa’ (it is finished), Patrick is gone,” she lamented.
The MP said her loss of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries had adversely affected the MCE who had openly supported her parliamentary bid.
Kumor was one of 25 MCEs whose appointment was revoked by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He was succeeded in the role by Mr. Michael Danquah.
