Celestine Donkor Urges Respect for John Kumah’s Memory

Ghanaian gospel icon, Celestine Donkor, has issued a heartfelt plea to Ghanaians, urging for respect and empathy in the wake of the untimely passing of Deputy Finance Minister, Honorable John Kumah.

Expressing her condolences, Celestine Donkor shared her dismay over the widespread discussions on social media surrounding the tragic event. “I’ve heard a lot following the death of John Kumah because the news was trending everywhere and it’s quite saddening and unfortunate,” she lamented.

The acclaimed musician called upon Ghanaians, especially the youth active on social media, to approach discussions surrounding such sensitive matters with sensitivity and restraint. “God should strengthen the family and I plead with those on social media, especially the youth, on how they tackle issues of such nature that can be disheartening,” she added.

Recognizing the profound impact of losing a cherished family member, Celestine emphasized the need for compassion and uplifting words during times of grief. “It’s quite saddening for people to lose a pivotal member of their family so comments passed on such an issue should be encouraging,” she stressed during an interview on Property FM in Cape Coast.

Drawing attention to the proximity of Honorable John Kumah’s family church to her residence, Celestine Donkor emphasized the importance of community support during times of mourning. “Though I never had any encounter with them, I know that Honourable’s wife was the owner of that church building which was situated around where I stay,” she shared.

Celestine reiterated the significance of exercising empathy and mindfulness in discussions surrounding loss and tragedy. “We should exercise restraint when issues of such come up because it’s not easy for someone to lose their father or husband, so we should let our words be encouraging,” she concluded, offering a poignant reminder of the power of compassion in difficult times.
