It is with deep regret and sorrow to receive news of the unfortunate passing to eternity, a Mom, a friend and a comrade, Hon Ama Benyiwa Doe after a short illness.
The NDC, especially the women’s wing is not only grieving at the passing of a tremendous individual but also comes as a shock because we were hoping to see you back on your feet.
You have been reliable, supportive and strong behind the women’s wing. While sick ,you still monitored our activities and shared your opinion concerning the NDC whenever necessary.
We have lost an icon, a courageous woman, a goal getter and a valued comrade who was very outspoken and a social justice advocate.You made a significant contribution to the National Democratic Congress , the women’s wing, your country Ghana and an inspiration to a lot of women across the globe.
We can’t also fail to recall your substantial attainment as Member of Parliament for Gomoa west constituency, the National women’s organizer of NDC, the Central regional minister and also as a council of state member.
Mummy I promise on behalf of the women’s wing, to uphold the flame that you had lit for women, the party, the country and the African continent at large.
The women’s wing of NDC sincerely sympathize with the bereaved family, indeed an oak tree has fallen.
Mama da yie, May God keep you till we meet again.
Signed
Dr Hanna Louisa Bisiw
