This is disappointing. The TUC should think of something more enduring and visible than one time state burial. The cost of the state burial can go into a scholarship fund in his memory. The TUC can name one of their halls after him.
Asamoah is playing to the gallery and this is portraying him as an opportunist.

The TUC has always been against the state.They callous in their imposition of high wages and perks on the state and private enterprise when they can ill afford it.(Did they hear Anglogold-Ashanti chair's message from Davo this week?) The TUC's call for state funeral again proves their selfish and nation wrecking belief in the right of entitlement. Mr Komla was not represnting Ghana at his his job at the BBC,even though the bogus TUC might think so. His employers and family are capable of giving him a well deserved burial.Ghana must resist the call for middle class welfare culture that is plagues the developed west.

First it the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) and now it's the TUC. What a misplaced national priority? The tributes from Ghana and across the world are enough and I am sure with his humility, Komla would not have accepted a state burial.
Instead of a state burial and asking the state to bear the cost of his children's education, GJA should consider honouring Komla by naming the annual Best Journalist Award after him. That would be a long last legacy than a state burial.

The suppose TUC should stop stupid things about Dumor's death. Why should Dumor have to be buried by the state when his family are all alive and can bury him.
Do we have to bury anybody who work for FM station and BBC when they die?
Cheap talk shouldnt be coming from TUC which Dumor wasnt a member. How many people in BBC are TUC members in ghana.
Onion leaves may smell like Onion but its not tje real thing. Why should the best in ghana move away and experts still to be a ghanaian.
If Dumor was really a ghanaian he wouldnt be taking his know how to people of UK. He could have been reporting from ghana instead went to UK became a british and worked for the british on british radio and final TV.
BBC in UK dont even know Dumor is dead, nobody mentions his name again after he working and dying in their offices.
TUC should be asking why his life wasnt saved in a place like London in the offices of BBC. What first aid did he get or was he found dead alone. These are the questions TUC and Ghanaians should be asking if they really care about Dumor Family.
State funeral is not for british.

You make sense and I applaud your comments. Komla was pursuing his own career dreams and aspirations to make a good living when he fell. Yes, because of his Ghanaian roots, Ghana became known but he did not represent Ghana and the tax payers money should not be used for his burial. GJA and the TUC must now find ways to honour him but not at the expense of the public. where is Samuel Hesse in the equation? It is not fair to leave him out when they both died the same day. We need to BE BOLDER than that!

The GJA should have first consult the President on this issue before coming out public on the issue, now they are in a dilemma? and want to push it by force, they should learn to consult stakeholders on issues like this before coming out public. kOMLA deserves better from the GJA then this cheap propaganda.

When did Ghana became that cheap that an ordinary journalist who happens to work with BBC deserves a national burial burial?
The TUC must be serious and think to do something constructively about the unbearable social economic condition of the living and stop such despicable suggestions.
The one time captain of the national team, Black Stars, Emmanuel Quarshie passed away just last year and was he given a national burial?
Very soon the death of every individual Ghanaian will require a state burial.
Komla Domor was working as a private man with the BBC at the time of his pathetic death and therefore do not deserve a nation burial.
The Journalist Association is the best institution with the support of all to give Komla a deserved burial as was given to Prince Ebo Godwin another brilliant Ghanaian BBC correspondence based in Lome-Togo, who passed away November 2012.
The legend high-life musician Kaabobo is still not buried, should we call to give him a national burial?

What kind of nonsense is this? State burial for someone who happened to be working for a foreign media organization to earn a living to support his family? He was in no way representing Ghana! Would any of the campaigners of state burial for him, argue for the same benefit extended to all Ghanaians in the diaspora who work for foreign organizations, and die? And, how about Ghanaians who toil at the various High Commissions and Embassies, and at least represent the interests of the nation? I raise these ridiculous questions to illuminate the foolhardiness of the clamor for state burial for anyone outside a select few that includes, say the President and Vice-President, and possibly the Chief Justice.

This call for a state burial is an attempt to divert attention from the economic demise of the country which this Asamoah should be speaking against. He should be telling the ghanaian worker and civil servants to stop stealing public funds so we can develop instead of being a chief mourner. It also goes to show you the mentality of the leaders out there. This is a simple logic the man should have known of its cost to productivity and wasteful resources. Komla was good and I admired him but the Ghanaian cause was not his focus and was paid. I wonder what the BBC think of all this silly discussions. Why can't we move on and let the family take over.
