Keep quiet and mourn your husband – Mensah Thompson to John Kumah’s wife

The Executive Director of the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), Mensah Thompson, has told the wife of the late Deputy Minister for Finance, Apostle Lilian Kumah, to desist from making public pronouncements about the death of her husband.

According to him, the wife of John Kumah making pronouncements right after his death is wrong and forbidden by Akan culture.

Mensah Thompson who said he knew John Kumah personally and was aware he was ill after an incident last year, said that Apostle Kumah should be mourning her husband now and should not be granting interviews about allegations on his death.

As we speak, John Kumah's wife is on Asaase Radio granting an interview, claiming that her husband was not poisoned.

Apostle Lilian Kumah, the widow of the late Deputy Minister of Finance, John Kumah, has refuted reports that her husband's death was a result of food poisoning.

She disclosed that John Kumah had been grappling with a terminal disease for almost a year, a condition initially diagnosed by doctors in Germany.

Meanwhile, following the death of the former deputy finance minister on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at the Suhum Government Hospital, some members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), including an aide to John Kumah have alleged that he was poisoned
