Tears flow for electrocuted NPP boys

The two NPP party activists who were electrocuted last week as they tried to erect party billboards have been laid to rest in Sunyani.

The two Kwaku Kumi, 41, and Akwasi Maxwell Ameyaw, 20, were laid in state at Sunyani Number 2, where the final funeral rites were held.

Last Wednesday, the two party members tried to erect a campaign billboard of the Sunyani East Member of Parliament at Abesim near Sunyani, but when they raised the billboard, the metal plate touched a cable and both of them got electrocuted.
 
The ceremony was witnessed by some national officers of the Party, including National Youth Organizer, Sammy Awuku, Campaign Strategist, Dan Botwe, MP for Okere, who represented the NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo and his running mate, Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia.

In a sermon, the Presiding Bishop of Walk in Truth Ministry, Frank Frimpong asked the bereaved families to take consolation in the fact that God knows what is best for them because he gives and also takes.
 
In a tribute, the mother of one of the deceased Ameyaw, Rebecca Asantewaa, extolled the virtues of her son describing him as hardworking.

The road from Sunyani to Bakonuaba, which is about three kilometers long, was jammed as the hearse carried the caskets to the cemetery.
