Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Hon. Sam George, has expressed profound grief and heartbreak over the sudden death of Kofi Omane Boamah, a close friend, political ally, and trusted mentor.
In an emotional statement shared on his official Facebook page, the Minister laid bare the depth of his sorrow and the immeasurable loss he now faces.
“Where do I start and to whom do I turn?” the statement began, capturing the raw anguish and disbelief following the passing of a man George described as not only a colleague but an elder brother.
According to the Minister, Kofi Omane Boamah was an integral part of both his personal and political life.
From providing guidance in his role as Minister to actively supporting his family—choosing schools for his children and following up on their academic progress—Boamah’s influence was both wide-reaching and deeply personal.
“You didn’t just care about my politics, you cared and loved my family,” George wrote. “You have been my compass and guiding light these past 7 months since I was appointed Minister.”
Kofi Omane Boamah, a respected figure within Ghana’s political landscape and a former Minister himself, was described as a calm and warm individual whose death has left colleagues and friends in despair. The exact circumstances of his passing remain unclear at this time.
Minister George did not hold back in expressing his shaken faith, questioning how such a tragedy could befall someone so vital to his life. “My faith is shaken. My belief is gone. We are told to give thanks in all things. How can I give thanks in this? How do I say it is well? It is certainly not well!”
The post has drawn widespread attention and sympathy, with many Ghanaians and political figures offering condolences and sharing memories of Boamah’s impactful life.
As tributes continue to pour in, it is evident that Kofi Omane Boamah’s legacy will endure—not only in the halls of political power but in the hearts of those who knew him personally.
