MP says Ernest Kumi was stressed
Meanwhile, theMP for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, claimed that Yaw Kumi's death was related to stress.
He said the legal challenges related to his win in the 2024 elections had placed an undue toll on his health.
"I can tell you for a fact that the gentleman was just stressed. Today, it is the High Court undermining his victory and pulling him to the High Court. The next day, they are pulling him to the Supreme Court," he said.
Awuku added that these challenges made it difficult for him to enjoy becoming an MP, something he had worked very hard for.
"He was burdened by litigation from the very start. He never had the benefit of concentrating on his people. It was very draining for him.
Meanwhile, a Ghanaian prophet, Eric Boahen Uche, reportedly prophesied the death of the Akwatia MP before it occurred.
