Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament Rt. Hon. Edward Doe-Adjaho led a delegation to the funeral of Asamoah Gyan’s mother on Friday.

The Honourable Speaker arrived alongside his deputies; Hon Ebo Barton-Oduro and Joe Ghartey to pay their last respects to Madam Cecelia Love Amoako who died in a car crash last November.

The highly powered delegation from Ghana’s legislature consoled the Gyan family in particular the Black Stars captain in their moment of grief.

“We were informed of the unfortunate passing of the mother of Asamoah Gyan, the captain of our national team,” Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said on behalf of the Speaker at the funeral grounds in Gbawe, Accra.

“The Speaker thus decided to break our evening’s activities to come and mourn with the family.

“We would like to assure the entire family of our unflinching support during this difficult period.

“You can also count on us to play a very active role in the remainder of the activities of the burial service.”

Other members of the delegation from Parliament included; the Deputy Minority Leader Hon. Alfred Agbesi, Hon Irene Naa Toshie Addo, Hon Mathew Opoku Prempeh and other key staff of the house.

The late Madam Cecelia Love Amoako will be buried in her hometown of Mamponteng on Saturday.

this is the problem we have in Ghana. They are all players of Ghana but some are treated way better than others. Anthony Annan’s mom died during last years afcon but her burial didnt get this much publicity with the whole speaker of parliament there. Hmmm Ghana football or Ghana footpolitics. We all dey.

Massa, I agree with u 100%. What about John Boye’s father’s funeral, nt even a single soul frm parliament attended the funeral. It’s Asamoah Gyan’s mother’s funeral & the president, the 2 former presidents together with a high powered delegation would grace the occasion. How special is he from his other colleagues who have suffered the same fate? I have nothing against the Gyans but I think it’s a recipe for disaster in the Stars camp as some players will inferior to the superior A. Gyan.

What the “F” is wrong with these politicians? We have big big problems in Ghana that needs to solved and they all sitting down at a funeral for an uneducated, can’t read or speak english football player? What makes Asamoah Gyan that more different from all other Ghanaians or football players that lost their parents?

Personally, I do sympathised with Asamoah Gyan and his family for their lost and I know that his mother will be in a good place but they do not deserve Ghana parliament in their backyard. Are we paying these idiots to loaf around funeral services.

This is probably one reason why Akwesi Appiah has not been able to shed off Asamoah Gyan, because the GFA, Parliament are all in his ears telling him to select him. Now I am beginning sympathise and seeing what Akwesi Appiah is up against.

This country called Ghana as I said before is filled with incompetent, ineffective, corruptible polititions who lack foresight and are more interested in self promotion than working hard for their constituents.

What a bunch of IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
