Late Mfantseman MP Is A Great Loss To Ghana - Seth Acheampong Grieves

Chairman of Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Interior, Seth Kwame Acheampong has expressed grief over the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Mfantseman constituency, Ekow Quansah Hayford who met his untimely death while returning from a campaign trip.

The Mfantseman MP was shot dead by highway robbers.

Peace FM's correspondent in the Central Region, Ibrahim Dadzie, detailed the public about the unfortunate incident.

According to him, the late Ekow Kwansah Hayford incurred the wrath of the robbers, who questioned his identity and after knowing he was an MP, blamed him for their woes and unhesitatingly shot him twice resulting in his death.

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Hon. Seth Kwame Acheampong got emotional as he commiserated with the family of the deceased as well as his colleague MPs and the nation at large.

He described the deceased as an affable and humble person.

"He's a great loss to us, the Government of Ghana, the family, his wife and children," he said.

Hon. Kwame Acheampong called on the security agencies to beef up security in the country, particularly on roads and at places where armed robbers have been terrorizing commuters.
