We live in such a cruel and dirty country. Ekow Quansah was a father, a husband and an MP for Mfansteman Constituency. He deserved better and this act of killing should not be allowed be a snake under grass.

Hon. JB Danquah and now Hon. Ekow Quansah Hayford. If not politically motivated can’t you just take what you need and leave without killing ??

In this political season, each one has to be extra careful because a lot of bad and frustrated individuals are on the streets to cause chaos and distress to innocent families.

Ekow Quansah Hayford
Do not politicize the killing of the MP. Anyone who does that is a foolish human being. Think about what his family may be going through this morning. Nobody deserves to die in such a manner. Rest In Peace, Ekow Quansah Hayford.
