Interview with new ACP Secretary General Alhaji Muhammad Mumuni
"On behalf of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council, I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Mohammed Mumuni, the Municipal Coordinating.
Director of Mampong, who sadly passed away on Wednesday while returning from Accra to Kumasi after a sudden illness," Dr. Amoakohene wrote.
The late official held one of the most critical positions in Ghana's local governance structure. Municipal Coordinating Directors oversee the administrative functions of municipal assemblies and coordinate the implementation of government policies at the local level, making them essential figures in municipal administration.
Dr. Amoakohene described Mumuni as a committed public servant whose contributions significantly advanced the administration and development of the Mampong municipality. He praised the late director's dedication to public service and his role in supporting the growth of the local authority.
In his statement, the Regional Minister extended prayers and sympathies to Mumuni's family during the difficult period, expressing hope that they would find strength and solace through the support of friends, colleagues, and the broader community.
The death has prompted widespread tributes from colleagues in local government circles and residents of Mampong municipality, many of whom have acknowledged Mumuni's years of service and commitment to advancing public administration in the district.
Details regarding funeral arrangements and a date for his burial have not yet been announced. The Mampong Municipal Assembly is expected to issue an official statement regarding succession arrangements and next steps.
