Kwasi Owusu Twumasi, aide to the late Deputy Finance Minister John Kumah, has categorically denied rumours that Dr. John Kumah traveled to India for medical treatment.
He clarified in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Friday, that Dr. Kumah only visited India for official work.
“I would like to clarify that Dr. John Kumah never went to India for medical treatment. He only traveled there in 2018 with Dr. Awal for official work,” he stated.
John Kumah sadly passed away at the age of 45, leaving behind a wife and six children.
According to available information, Dr Kumah was on the floor of Parliament earlier this week and was scheduled to contribute to the debate on the SONA on Thursday and Friday.
He however visited his constituency in the Ashanti Region for the independence day anniversary and his health condition deteriorated.
Subsequently, an ambulance was mobilised to transport him to Accra.
However, while on the way, his condition became very critical and the ambulance diverted to the Suhum Government Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
