The Parliamentary Press Corps (PPC), the association of journalists who cover and report activities of the legislative body, has released a statement expressing sorrow over the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight Ghanaians.
The group described the loss as "deeply personal", reflecting the close professional and often cordial relationships they had built with the deceased, particularly the two sitting ministers, one a member of parliament.
The crash, which occurred on Wednesday, August 6, in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region, has cast a long shadow over the nation.
The victims were travelling in a Ghana Armed Forces Z-9 helicopter on a mission to explement alternatives to tackle illegal mining (galamsey) when the aircraft went off radar.
