Helicopter disaster: The loss is deeply tragic – Tsatsu Tsikata

Renowned lawyer and NDC stalwart Tsatsu Tsikata has expressed grief about the tragic loss of eight officials in the recent helicopter crash on August 6.

Addressing a solemn gathering at the Evening of Reflections and Memorial at the Forecourt of the State House on Saturday, August 9, Tsikata emphasised the profound impact of the tragedy on the victims’ families and expressed hope that their deaths would serve as a catalyst for national healing.

Mr Tsikata’s comments came during an evening dedicated to honouring the lives of the deceased, including Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah and NDC Vice Chairman Dr Samuel Sarpong.

They were accompanied by Muniru Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator; Samuel Aboagye, a former parliamentary candidate; and Samuel Sarpong, Vice Chairman of the NDC.

Tragically, the military crew members, Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah, also lost their lives in the crash.

The deceased persons were on their way to the launch of the Responsible Co-operative Mining and Skills Development Programme (COMSDEP) in Obuasi to address illegal mining.

The crash has plunged the nation into mourning and has been the subject of multiple tributes from political and social figures across Ghana.

When asked what was going through his mind, Mr Tsikata’s response was deeply personal and philosophical.

“It is a sad day indeed. Their loss has been in very tragic circumstances. And what really goes through my mind is the loss to their families, the spouses, the children. They must feel it more extensively, more completely than the rest of us,” he said.

He then shifted his focus to the broader national significance of the tragedy.

Echoing sentiments expressed by President John Mahama, Mr Tsikata hoped that the victims’ commitment to public service would not be forgotten.

“But at the same time, we can only hope and pray that what they lived and died for will be a lesson for all of us,” he stated.

Mr Tsikata concluded with a message of unity, suggesting that the memory of the victims could help mend a divided nation.

“And as the president said, perhaps it will also be a lesson in the healing of the nation and that is a legacy that they will leave behind.”

The memorial service, attended by government officials, party members, and families of the deceased, served as a platform for these reflections.

Mr Tsikata’s words provided a reminder that beyond the political and professional lives of the victims, their loss is a deeply personal one for their loved ones.

His call for the tragedy to be a “lesson in the healing of the nation” has been widely shared and discussed, offering a glimmer of hope in a period of overwhelming grief.
