Former Sports Minister E.T. Mensah remains arrives on Saturday

The late E.T. Mensah’s mortal remains is set to arrive in Ghana on October 7, 2023, following his passing in South Africa on September 30, Sunday after a protracted battle with ill health.

Enoch Teye Mensah, age 77, was a long-serving Member of Parliament for the Ningo- Prampram Constituency.

During his 20-year tenure in Parliament from 1997 to 2017, E.T. Mensah also held the position of Minister of Youth and Sports in the Rawlings administration.

In addition to his long career in politics, E.T. Mensah was also a family man with a spouse and seven children.

During the PNDC era, he served as the Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), and was noted as a staunch member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

President John Evans Atta Mills appointed E.T. Mensah as Minister for Employment and Social Welfare in January 2010, following which he was elected to the Council of State in February 2021 as the representative of the Greater Accra Region.

The news of his passing has been met with grief throughout the country, with many paying tribute to his long and dedicated service to the Ghanaian people.

However, plans for his funeral and memorial service are yet to be announced.


Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
