Accra: The National Democratic Congress Majority Caucus in Parliament has paid tribute to the late Naser Toure Mahama, a former Ayawaso East Member of Parliament, acknowledging his humble leadership and dedication to public service. The tribute emphasized Mahama's ability to foster kindness, collaboration, and harmony among Members of Parliament.
According to Ghana News Agency, Madam Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah, the First Deputy Majority Whip and the National Democratic Congress MP for Ada, led the delegation to visit the late MP's wife, Hajia Amina Adam, at her residence in Accra. She remarked, "His leadership in humility is a rare quality, and it's clear our brother left a lasting impact on his constituency and the House." In a gesture of support, the Majority Caucus donated GHS100,000 to the bereaved family. Madam Cudjoe-Ghansah stated, "We have to do the needful and pay our last respects, and today, I am here on behalf of the Speaker of Parliament and the Majority Caucus to present GHS100,000 to the widow and the family."
The late Mahama passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2026, and was laid to rest shortly thereafter. During his funeral on Sunday, January 11, 2026, Mr. Bernard Ahiafor, the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, spoke highly of Mahama, describing him as a diligent "committee man" who actively participated in several key committees, including Energy, Roads and Transportation, and the House Committee.
Mr. Ahiafor, reading a tribute on behalf of Mr. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, noted that Mahama's professional background in the oil and energy sector enhanced parliamentary oversight of petroleum regulation and licensing. He stated, "Hon. Naser was known for meticulous preparation and a strong focus on value-for-money assessments during committee deliberations, frequently interrogating whether government contracts served the best interests of taxpayers." Mr. Ahiafor also highlighted Mahama's significant contributions on the Floor of Parliament, which were mainly made through formal parliamentary questions concerning drainage and flood control, health infrastructure, and hospital projects within the Ayawaso East Constituency.
