Accra, Jan. 11, GNA – The Parliament of Ghana has paid tribute to the late Naser Toure Mahama, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso East, describing him as a detail-oriented legislator who made significant contributions to the House through his committee work and policy scrutiny.
The late Mahama, who passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2026, was a diligent “committee man” who served on several key committees, including Energy, Roads and Transportation, and the House Committee, Bernard Ahiafor, the First Deputy Speaker, said at the funeral on Sunday, January 11, 2026.
Reading a tribute on behalf of Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Ahiafor said the late MP’s professional background in the oil and energy sector strengthened parliamentary oversight of petroleum regulation and licensing.
He said: “Honourable Naser was known for meticulous preparation and a strong focus on value-for-money assessments during committee deliberations, frequently interrogating whether government contracts served the best interests of taxpayers.”
Mr Ahiafor added that the late MP’s contributions on the Floor of Parliament were largely through formal parliamentary questions, focusing on drainage and flood control, health infrastructure, and hospital projects within the Ayawaso East Constituency.
