During the solemn event, mourners, including his constituents, dressed in red and black attires as a symbol of their grief and loss. They fondly remembered Kumah as a dedicated public servant known for his hard work and integrity.

At 45 years old, the lawmaker passed away earlier this month after a brief illness, leaving behind a wife and six children.

Affectionately known as Lawyer John Kumah, he was admired for his commitment to job creation and was regarded as a beacon of hope in his community, inspiring both the young and old alike.
