Philip Basoah was humble and will be greatly missed – Kennedy Osei Nyarko

Kennedy Osei Nyarko, the Member of Parliament for Akim Swedru and close friend of late MP for Kumawu Philip Basoah, has intimated that the former Kumawu lawmaker will greatly be missed.

The former Kumawu legislator and tutor at the Agogo State College died in the early hours of Tuesday, March 28.

Nyarko said he entered Parliament the same year the late Basoah was elected to represent the people of Kumawu, and they remained good friends until his demise.

“We were very close friends, and we entered Parliament in the same year, and he sat two seats away from me, and we used to share experiences together.

Following the MP’s demise, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin underscored the need for Members of Parliament to prioritise their health by undergoing regular medical checks.
