Mr Iddrisu also suggested that an important road in Kumasi or Tamale be named after the late politician and industrialist. The road, he said, could be called ‘Appiah Menka Constitutional Avenue or Road,’ for his strong belief in constitutional rule and contributions to the Constitutional Review Committee set up by former President Prof John Atta Mills. The minority leader described the late Appiah Menka, who clocked 84, and founding member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), as true and revered patriotic statesman, who gave all he could for the development and unity of the country. The minority leader made these suggestions in his contribution to a tribute read in honour of the late Appiah Menka by the majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, in Parliament on Wednesday. The MP for Manhyia North, Collins Owusu Amankwah, said the NPP has lost a gem and that the late Appiah Menka was his political mentor who always preached peace.
