Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has eulogised the late Dr Anthony Akoto Osei, the former deputy finance minister in the J A Kufuor administration.

Osei, who also served as an MP for Old Tafo, died on Monday (20 March) at the University of Ghana Medical Centre.

Sharing the news on Facebook on Monday (20 March), Bawumia said Osei’s dedication to serving Ghana was “unpaired”.

“I have heard with shock the passing of Hon. Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, former MP and Minister of the Republic.
Dr. was a very good friend and one of the people I worked closely with as a Deputy Governor and Vice President of the Republic,” Bawumia wrote on Facebook.

Unquestionable fidelity

“His dedication to serving mother Ghana was unpaired and his fidelity to the country’s development was unquestionable.

“I paid him a visit just a few weeks ago and was happy that he was doing much better. The news of his passing has therefore come as a complete shock.

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. I am happy to have had a brother in you and to have worked with you. Rest in peace, my brother,” Bawumia added.
