Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey did not only serve his party selflessly and diligently, but also helped in nation building.

He was a Chief of Staff and former Minister of Tourism and Diasporan Relations inthe cabinet of President John Kufuor.

Previously Obetsebi-Lamptey was Minister of Tourism and Modernization of the Capital (2002–05) and Minister of Information (2001–02).

Indeed, a true son of the Nation and the great elephant family has passed on. A great pillar has fallen.
