The Member of Parliament for Kumawu Constituency, Ernest Yaw Anim, hosted a Christmas Day party for over 1,500 people in the constituency.
The celebration, held at Bond’s Hotel in Banko, Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region, was attended by the elderly, widows, orphans, and persons with disabilities.
The festive event featured Ghanaian music and a variety of food, including rice, banku, and fufu. Mr Anim distributed gifts such as clothes, bags of rice, cooking oil, salt, cutlasses, wellington boots, and cash to the attendees. He emphasized the significance of the party and encouraged people to embrace the festive season.
“I am well aware that, on many occasions, people experience both joy and desolation during the Christmas season, with some finding solace in the celebration while others may lament due to the absence of reliable companionship. Nonetheless, today presents an opportunity for all to embrace the delight of the festive season,” he stated.
He added that “in the coming years, should it be necessary to undertake this party on a community-wide basis, it will be duly executed.”
Present at the ceremony were Nana Asiedu Berchie (Adontenhene) who represented Nana Kwabena Kwarteng Sefa (Bankohene) as the Chairman for the occasions, NPP Kumawu Constituency Executives, Hon. Samuel Addai Agyekum (DCE, Sekyere Kumawu District) and many equally important dignitaries.
The MP’s party with the aged, widows, orphans, and persons living with disability conveys his appreciation and gratitude to his constituents since assuming office in June this year.
