The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed that all flags at the national headquarters, regional and 275 constituency offices should fly at half-mast on Thursday, October 5.
This is to honour the party’s first National Youth Organiser Enoch Teye Mensah and first National Treasurer Dr Sidney Laryea.
The two died in the course of the past days.
ET Mensah died on Sunday, October 1 while receiving treatment in a South African hospital.
Dr Laryea died a day later.
“The NDC is proud of the invaluable contributions of these great personalities to the development of Ghana and the great NDC,” said a statement issued after a FEC meeting on Wednesday, October 4.
“The Functional Executive Committee has resolved and hereby directs, that all flags of the NDC at the National Headquarters, Regional Offices and across the 275 Constituency Offices of the party fly at half mast on Thursday, 5th October, 2023 in honor of the memory of our deceased comrades.”
The party assured of joining the families of the two deceased members “to honour their memories and give them a befitting burial”.
