The date for the burial arrangements of the late Peter Ala Adjetey, former Speaker of Parliament who died some three weeks ago, has not yet been decided, according to a family source.

Mr. Larry Adjetey, spokesperson and also the eldest son of the late Speaker disclosed this in Accra yesterday during a visit to the office of the current Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Ebenezer Sakyi Hughes, to formally announce his death.

To that effect, Mr. Adjetey said a committee would be set up comprising family members of the late Speaker, some Members of Parliament and Government to decide on a suitable date for the burial.

He said the family was also in the process to formally announce the sudden death of the late Speaker to President John Agyekum Kufuor at the Castle when he returns from the national assignment abroad.

Mr. Adjetey expressed his family’s appreciation to Ghanaians for their sympathies and hoped that would be replicated when the date is announced to give his father a befitting burial.

The Speaker of Parliament, Ebenezer Sakyi Hughes, expressed the House’s condolences to the family of the late speaker saying that he was a true statesman.

Speaker Ebenezer Hughes said the late Peter Ala Adjetey was a man of many parts; eminent, professional legal luminary and a politician.

He added that many people who worked with the late speaker attest to his impeccable professional attitude to work.
