The Rt. Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey died on Tuesday 15 July at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital aged 76
after a short illness. He left behind a wife, Johanna Dede and ten children and ten grandchildren.
Peter Ala Adjetey, born 11 August 1931, was the second Speaker of the Parliament of Ghana in the
Fourth Republic.
A prominent son of La in Accra, Peter Ala Adjetey obtained his basic education at St. Paul’s
School at La and the Accra Bishop Boys’ School. His secondary education was at Accra Academy from
where he proceeded to the University College of the Gold Coast (now the University of Ghana), where
he obtained the University of London intermediate Bachelor of Arts degree in 1954. He then proceeded
to the United Kingdom, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from University of
Nottingham in 1958.
Mr. Adjetey was called to the Bar at Middle Temple in London in 1959. He returned to Ghana in the
same year where he was also called to the Bar.
May his soul rest in peace.
Heartfelt Condolences
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
RIP Rt Hon Peter Ala Adjetey
Death is nothing at all
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped into the next room.
I am I, and you are you:
Whatever we were to each other, we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name;
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone;
Wear no air of solemnity or sorrow;
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we enjoyed together;
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever
The household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect;
Without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
What is this death but negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you,
For an interval, somewhere, very near
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Peter doesn't have any gifts yet. Why not be the first to add one?
