Getting ready for your Holy Audio person…
Former Defense Minister Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah’s family has written to the Ghanai government asking for particular recruitment opportunities in the national security services for those who were qualified to join the families of those who lost loved ones in the tragic helicopter crash in August.
The appeal was made known as a tangible way for the country to embrace Dr. Boamah and the seven other top officials who perished in the best compromise.
A Request for Tangible Recognition
Omane Yaw Acheampong, the later Minister’s brother, described Dr. Boamah as the “hope, image, service, and father” in an interview with reporters in Accra this year. He made it clear that the former secretary had promised to assist some poor but qualified youth in the family in finding employment. He claimed that the previous minister was providing financial support to several relatives. Our sincere plea is for the authorities to think about allowing the families of the eight statemen who died in that dreadful crash to receive some enrollment slots in the security services, or any other government agency, Acheampong said.
He added that a movement like this “would demonstrate clearly that the express values the sacrifices of its employees and intends to treatment for those they left on.”
The family believes that this kind of help would not only benefit the heartbroken but also strengthen nationalism and reassure all public workers that their contributions to society are valued.
A Memorial to the STEM field’s legacy
The family is urging the government to set up a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teaching hospital in Effiduase, Koforidua, in addition to the demand for job opportunities. They suggest that this facility be a fitting and lasting tribute to Dr. Boamah’s varied tradition as a devoted people servant, doctor, and scientist.
The Tragedy’s History
A Ghana Air Force Harbin Z-9 plane carrying eight officers to an anti-galamesey wedding crashed in a rocky bush in the Ashanti Region on August 6, 2025. There were no victims.
Dr. Omane Boamah was a well-known medical professional and a prominent member of the National Democratic Congress ( NDC ). Prior to his appointment as the defense secretary on February 1, 2025, he held a number of important positions in the government, including that of the president’s director and minister of contacts.
