Alban Bagbin is the Speaker of Parliament
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has stated that the legacies and achievements of the eight (8) victims of the fatal military helicopter crash will last for generations.
Reading his tribute at the state funeral at the Black Star Square on Friday, August 15, 2025, he stated, “The heavens may have claimed their mortal forms, but their legacy remains etched in the laws they championed, the institutions they strengthened, the lives they transformed, and the hope they inspired. Even in their sudden departure, these gallant souls have gifted us a powerful reminder: life is fragile, tomorrow is never promised, and every moment matters.”
