“He prioritised education and sponsored many children to pursue both basic and tertiary education,” she said.
The late former MCE passed away at WoraWora Government Hospital on Thursday, May 9, 2024, after a short illness.
The body has been kept at the morgue for preservation.
The late Jilima was survived by a wife and 10 children.
When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) contacted the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Krachi East, Mr Charles Gyamfi Boateng, he said a high-level government delegation would be represented during the burial service.
When the family called on him at Pai-Katanga to announce the burial arrangement, Mr Boateng expressed his sympathy to the bereaved family.
He described the late MCE as “a good man who dedicated his life to serve his people when he was in office.
“We really need him here, but as it is often said, God needs good people more than we do; let us therefore pray for his soul.”
