The Member of Parliament (MP) for Essikado-Ketan and Minister of Railways Development, Joe Ghartey, visited the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital immediately after the accident.
He was there to express his condolences to the bereaved family members who were there to mourn the victims.
The MP described the late Hajia as a good woman who was once an NPP financial secretary at the Kojokrom Electoral Area in the constituency. She rose through the ranks to become the treasurer for the party in the constituency.
Thirty-four people lost their lives in the gory accident which involved a Man Diesel bus travelling from Takoradi to Accra – with registration number GR 5704-18 – and a Hyundai bus with registration number GN 3780-10 – moving in the opposite direction towards Accra.
According to some eyewitnesses, the Accra-bound bus tried an overtaking in a curve at Dompoase near Komenda, but in an attempt it collided with the Takoradi-bound bus killing 29 persons on the sport, with five dying later at the hospital.
