Members of Parliament have paid solemn tribute to the five government ministers, officials, and three military officers who lost their lives in the recent helicopter crash.

Speaking during the funeral service for the fallen leaders, MPs reflected on their service to the nation and called on Ghanaians to honour their memory by fostering unity rather than division.

They appealed to the public to refrain from politicising the tragedy, stressing that the moment should serve as a rallying point for national solidarity.

Lawmakers further urged that the incident be used as a catalyst to intensify the fight against illegal mining, widely known as galamsey, which continues to pose a threat to the country’s environment and development.

The MPs commended the contributions of the deceased to national progress.

They called for collective action to address Ghana’s pressing challenges, warning against the dangers of partisan divides in moments of crisis.
