Robert Apodolla, a Deputy Clerk of Parliament has reportedly died on Friday, February 19, 2021.

Reports say Mr Apodolla, who has worked with all past Speakers of Parliament of the 4th Republic died at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after a short illness.

Announcing the development in a glowing tribute on his Facebook page, former Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak said, "Parliament of Ghana has lost one of its unsung icons, a dedicated servant of Parliament who knew his work inside out, and discharged his duties diligently."

He said the deceased was one of the three people he constantly approached for Parliamentary-related suggestions and counsel during his stint with the legislature.

"In my time in Parliament, there were three persons whose opinions and suggestions I sought frequently - Rt. Hon. Speaker Alban Bagbin (then a Deputy Speaker), Opare Ansah of Suhum, and the late Robert Apodolla.

"If I couldn’t find Mr Speaker or Opare, it was Robert I run to for suggestions on a motion I was preparing to move or interpretation of any of the rules I wasn’t clear about," part of his post read.
