The Member of Parliament for Kumawu constituency in the Ashanti Region, Philip Atta Basoah is reported dead.
Mr. Basoah who was serving his second term in office as MP died early this morning, Tuesday, March 28 at the age of 53.
The New Patriotic Party MP was in Parliament on Thursday, March 23, to participate in parliamentary work.
However, Mr. Basoah was one of the three MPs who were conspicuously missing in the next day’s voting by Parliament to approve six nominees of President Akufo-Addo for ministerial positions on Friday, March 24.
Frantic efforts by his colleague MPs to both delay the voting process and to locate him yielded no results.
Mr. Philip Atta Basoah’s whereabouts became a source of worry on Friday, and a report by Joy Online suggests that neither his Personal Assistant nor anyone close to him knew where he was until his room was forcibly opened, only to find him collapsed.
He was rushed to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in comma but passed away while plans were underway to fly him out for further care.
Philip was born on November 18, 1969. He hails from Kumawu in the Ashanti region of Ghana.
He had master’s degree at the Paris graduate school of management (Human Resource Management) in 2012 and also had Bachelor of Arts at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana in 2000.
