rest

delegation led by Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama at the
week-end attended the burial of Mr. Patrick Kodzo
Agbenoworsi, 69, a founding member of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) and a one time Third National Vice Chairman of

Other Members of the delegation were Mr. Ebenezer Begyina
Sekyi-Hughes, Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Kofi Dzamesi and

the Party and some NPP presidential aspirants.
Also present were some members of the Diplomatic Corps.

bereaved family on behalf of the government and the party.
Until his death on September 06, Mr. Agbenoworsi was the
Managing Director of SAMPAT Fisheries at Tema.
In a tribute the Vice President Mahama said the death of Mr.
Agbenoworsi was a big blow to the NPP, the government and
the country as a whole.
He described him as a political mentor who sacrificed
himself and assets at most difficult times in the history of
the NPP.
"If there are any individual benefits to derive from one's
loyal affiliation to a victorious political party, Patrick
deserved to be among the first batch of party loyalist to
derive such benefit", he remarked.
Mr. Mac-Manu said the late Mr Agbenoworsi was dedicated,
loyal and dye-in-wool member of the Daquah/Busia tradition
and a selfless person who used his time and resources to
nature the party in the Volta Region.
In a sermon Right Reverend Livingston Buama, Moderator of
the E.P. Church, expressed the hope that all would emulate
the religious morals of the late Mr Agbenoworsi.
