President Akufo-Addo has expressed shock and sadness over the killing of Mfantseman Member of Parliament in the Central Region, Ekow Quansah Hayford.
In a post on Facebook, the President called on the Police to act swiftly and bring perpetrators of the heinous crime to book.
“I am shocked and saddened by news of the murder of the Member of Parliament for Mfantseman, Hon. Ekow Kwansa Hayford, by suspected armed robbers in the early hours of this morning. It is a sad day for Mfantseman and for Mother Ghana. My last encounter with him was on 30th June, this year, when I commissioned a water supply project at Anomansa, in his constituency,” the President’s post stated.
“By all accounts, he was very much appreciated and loved by his constituents, and I expect the police to bring the perpetrators of this gruesome, cruel act to book as soon as possible. My deepest condolences to his family, to the Mfantseman constituency, to the New Patriotic Party, and to Parliament. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” he added.
