The Member of Parliament for Zebilla, Cletus Apul Avoka has eulogised his former colleague, ET Mensah.
Mr. Mensah died in South Africa on October 1 after battling ill-health for some time.
Avoka described the former Ningo-Prampram MP as a politician without blemish. He added that Mr. Mensah was a bold and confident statement and his demise would leave a big void in Ghana’s political space.
The Zebilla legislator sent his “condolences to the family and all those who are admirers of ET Mensah” and reminisced about the time they spent together in Parliament.
“He [ET Mensah] joined us in the second Parliament and the time I got to know him more was in 2009 when he was Chief Whip, and I was Interior Minister. During that time, I called him every morning to find out what was happening in Parliament and when I needed to be in Parliament.
I later went to the House as Majority Leader and ET became Minister for Labour Relations, and we became very close when we were brought together to help Mahama on special initiatives as members of the presidential special drive that eventually became the Three Wise Men.”
