The deceased<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hohoe, the capital of the
\nHohoe Municipality in the Volta Region came to a standstill when thousands of
\nmourners joined the Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu, to bid his late sister,
\nEsther Dey, farewell.<\/p>\n

The late Esther Dey popularly
\nknown as Nee Amewu-Duglu, died on August 12, 2019, at the Tema General Hospital.<\/p>\n

A trait which attracted many
\npeople to her and the family, apart from the fact that she was also known as a die-hard
\nmember of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), was her generosity and
\ntherefore her funeral even brought members of the opposition National
\nDemocratic Congress (NDC) to Hohoe.<\/p>\n

Most of the tributes that
\npoured in at the St. Augustine\u2019s Catholic Church in Hohoe described her as a \u2018kind
\nhearted\u2019 individual who loved all people unconditionally.<\/p>\n

Sympathisers like former President Jerry John Rawlings, Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, NPP Chairman Freddy Blay, and Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, among others were all present at the funeral.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

According to Mr. Amewu, her
\nsister\u2019s death was not only sudden but heart-breaking considering the fact that
\nshe was always available to support the family, saying \u201cHer love for the family
\nand me was unconditional,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Esther Dey left behind her,
\nhusband, Venance Dey, and two daughters, Maira Dey and Christable Dey.<\/p>\n
