He said it was at that point that doctors later informed Ernest Kumi’s wife that the MP was not responding to treatment and had passed away.

“He travelled and arrived this morning. When he returned, he complained of chest pain and was taken to the Lister Hospital. He was given a drip, but it was noticed that the fluid wasn’t flowing. Later, his wife was told that the NPP MP was not responding to treatment and had died.”

The man, who was left devastated, said his brother was supposed to travel to Akwatia, only for this tragic incident to occur.

“We have lost a big pillar, we recently lost our uncle and were counting on him for the burial and now he too is no more" he said, shedding tears.

Elias Nabil Sapaad stated:

"Stop the cry and be a man. You can also be the pillar of that family. God is in control bro."

Innocent Adamadu stated:

"May his soul rest in peace. Hmmm... Just that I’m a bit confused about what the brother said. He said the wife was making a call, and when she returned, she was informed that the drip on the husband was not infusing — so she declared him dead. So who declared the MP dead? The wife or the doctors? Aaaa well. Very sad."

Gabby Nketia added:

"This even shows the burdens and pressure on the man. Since he was the pillar, he carried most of the load in the family. The man had been through tough pressure. May his gentle soul rest in peace."

Lydia Maame Damoah replied:

"This is so terrible and sad. The man’s words give me shivers, they’re so deep. Politics, hmmm! May God comfort this family in this difficult moment."
