To honour this pledge, he presented a cash donation of GH₵100,000 to help with the preparations for the celebration.
The money was handed to Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu by the former Majority Leader of Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
Dr Bawumia also promised to assist the family with the funeral arrangements, which will be held in the Ashanti Region once a date is announced.
