Accra, Aug. 6, GNA-Ambassador Farhan Laari Bimi, Gone But Not Forgotten! These solemn words still echoed as we mark the 10th anniversary of the departure of the fearless advocate of human rights. As your legacy stands tall in the democratic, political and the legal monument of the fourth republic.
Mr Bimi, former Chairman of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), from 1998-2011, was Ghana’s silent democratic pillar and a sincere and truthful personality.
He was an epitome of simplicity, down to earth, diligent, magnanimous and a man of Integrity.
He was a rare gem, a real public servant in the true sense of the word. Yes, that was the Man the nation, Africa and the world lost on Friday, July 22, 2011.
It was around 2230 hours on that fateful day, when death laid its icy hands on the 66-year-old lawyer, teacher and civic educator. In accordance with strict Islamic tradition, his mortal remains were lowered into the grave, in less than 24 hours of his death, signifying the end of his life. However, his legacy still persists.
