A former Minister of State, Member of Parliament and Ambassador under the National Democratic Congress, Lee Ocran, has passed on, MyNewsGh.com has confirmed.
Mr Ocran passed on midnight of yesterday, his family confirmed to MyNewsGh.com.

 

 

Tributes have since been pouring in for him across the political aisle.
Mr Lee Ocran was a Ghanaian politician who served as Minister for Education of Ghana from 2012 to 2013.
Ocran was appointed Minister by President John Atta Mills in February 2012 in a cabinet reshuffle following the resignation of Betty Mould-Iddrisu from the government and the sacking of Martin Amidu.

In 2000 he was Deputy Minister of Environment Science and Technology.
Since January 2005 as candidate from the National Democratic Congress he was Member of Parliament for the Jomoro constituency until he lost his seat to the daughter of Kwame Nkrumah, Samia Nkrumah of the Convention People’s Party in the December 2008 parliamentary election.
In February 2014 Ocran was sworn in as board chairman of Volta River Authority.
On May 13, 2015 he described the Bui Dam as a White Elephant (extravagant but burdensome gift).
Our condolences to his family, particularly his wife, Mrs Sati Ocran.
