Hajia Saudatu Sulemana Muntaka, mother of Interior Minister and Member of Parliament for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has passed away at the age of 83.
She died on Monday afternoon at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after a short illness. Her death coincided with the day her son officially assumed his duties at the Interior Ministry following his swearing-in by President John Dramani Mahama last week.
The Asawase MP has often credited his mother for his success, praising her upbringing and support.
Tributes have been pouring in from constituents, with many offering condolences and prayers for the late Hajia Saudatu.
The Interior Minister has arrived at the family home in Kumasi to oversee preparations for the burial, scheduled for Tuesday.
