The late former Member of Parliament for the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hon. Donald Soditey Dari, has been laid to rest at a private burial at Duume in the Savannah Region.
The NDC stalwart died after a short illness.
The leadership of the National Democratic Congress led by General Secretary of the party, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah, attended the funeral to pay their last respect to the former NDC member.
Speaking, at the funeral ground,the largest opposition political party scribe, said the legacy left behind by the former NDC MP for Sawla-Tuna-Kalba would forever be remembered by the party’s fraternity.
“I knew Hon.Soditey Dari way back during the time he was the constituency chairman of the party and he was a strong man. He stood for the NDC and made his voice heard wherever he was,” Nketiah said.
“One thing I also remember about him was the fact he was not the vociferous type of person but has always supported the NDC, he was always championed the cause of the NDC. The best tribute NDC can give him is for us to continue with his legacy,” Nketiah added.
The District Chief Executive, Hon. Lonsina Barikisu Watara, who was there to mourn with the family applauded the late Soditey Dari for his hard work and resilience adding that the District had lost a hero and there was the need for others to follow in his footsteps.
