President Akufo-Addo also recalled Mr J H Mensah’s leadership in Parliament, saying he always encouraged parliamentarians not to concentrate on winning the debate in Parliament but outside it.
Metropolitan Archbishop of the Catholic Church, Rev. Palmer-Buckle, in a sermon, commended JH’s family for burying him within forty days of his demise and entreated all to emulate the example.
He also called on the President to help formulate a policy that will ban the celebration of “one-week celebrations” of the demise of people because it’s a waste of time and resources.
