Habib Iddrissu- (2nd Deputy Majority Whip And M.P, Tolon), Hon. Davis Ansah Opoku – (M.P, Mpraeso) and Hon. Yves Nii Noi Hanson-Nortey, (M.P, Tema Central).
In a motion, the MPs proposed that “That, this Honourable House constitutes a bi-partisan committee; “To unravel the unending mystery surrounding the death of late President Mills which sad event occurred on 24th July, 2012.”
The lawmakers would be required to provide the reasons for their motion when it is admitted by the Speaker and tabled for discussion.
Recall that former President Mills died on 24 July 2012 at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra, three days after his 68th birthday. Though the cause of death was not immediately released, he had reportedly been suffering from throat cancer and had been to the US for medical reasons.
His brother, Dr. Cadman Mills, later however disclosed that he had died from complications of a massive hemorrhagic stroke resulting from a brain aneurysm.
