NPP-Holland Pays Tribute To Rt. Hon. Peter Ala AdjeTEY

The entire members of NPP-HOLLAND and admirers of Peace, Freedom and Justice, join together with heavy laden hearts to express our condolences to the bereaved family, and the traditional people of La, on the death of former Speaker of the forth republic of Ghana, Rt. Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey. Your sorrow and grief over this loss can never be separated from ours here, in The Netherlands.

We remember the Rt. Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey, as lawyer and politician who throughout his life fought for freedom, Justice, Human Rights and advancement of Ghana’s democracy. Indeed, he fought a great fight with all his might. It was not surprising that he became the second speaker of parliament in the Fourth Republic of Ghana, who presided over the efficient and smooth running of our parliamentary proceedings and debates in a real democratic Ghana that he helped make.

Hon. Ala Adjetey engaged himself in a fight that has come to fruition today, not only to the benefit of Ghanaians but to Africa as well. Ghana is at all time peace with her neighbours, whiles multiparty democracy, Rule of Law towards economic development, continues to gain roots in the fabric of Ghanaian society. May the hearts of the bereaved family and those of the Danquah-Busia family, be comforted today and tomorrow. The royal son of Nuumo Okantey Adjetey Din We, of La Dzarasee, Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey, pursued relentlessly for democratic change, and he saw it all happening then and now. It gladdens us that the people of Ghana awarded him with the Order of the Star, for a great job done for God and Country, before his calling by the almighty.

We, the NPP-Holland believe strongly, that Rt. Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey, a noble servant of God and country will certainly rest in perfect peace, knowing before death that Ghana is moving forward through the path of his choice. Though time will heal the sorrow, we will always share loving memories of him. Again, our hearts goes out to you today. Ghana has lost a political doyen. No grave can hold a spirit that fought with bravery.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE CHAIRMAN, NPP-HOLLAND
