Apostle Lilian Kumah, the wife of the late Deputy Finance Minister, Dr John Kumah, says she knows what killed her husband and that her husband did not die from poisoning.
She said it is untrue
that her husband was poisoned as speculated in a section of the media,
following her husband's death.
She said the family is
saddened by the commentary being run on her husband's death, particularly
concerning allegations that he was poisoned.
In a recorded interview
played on Accra-based Asaase Radio on Monday, March 11, 2024, Apostle Kumah
said in Twi "I know the disease that killed my husband" and that
"No doctor has told me he was poisoned."
For her, her husband was
sick, and he died from the sicknesses that he started battling in August
2023.
"As far as I'm
concerned, my husband was sick, and I know the sickness and I won't lie,"
she said.
Apostle Kumah also
called on law enforcement agencies to invite individuals, particularly Captain
Smart of Onua TV, who claimed that he had evidence that Dr John Kumah was
poisoned to obtain the said evidence.
She said she has all the
medical reports on her husband's condition, both at home and abroad, that point to
the fact that her husband was not poisoned as speculated.
When did John Kumah die?
The
Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Ejisu in the Ashanti
Region passed away at the age of 45 after a brief illness.
He died on Thursday,
March 7, 2024.
He visited his
constituency, Ejisu in the Ashanti Region for the Independence anniversary
after which his health condition deteriorated, leading to his death at the
Suhum Government hospital in the Eastern Region.
Known to his
constituents as Lawyer John Kumah, he was widely regarded as a man of integrity
who championed job creation and instilled hope for the future among both the
young and old in Ejisu, in the Ashanti Region.
