The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has donated an amount of GHS200,000 to Ghanaian musician Kwame Asare Obeng and his family as a sign of sympathy as they bid farewell to their deceased relative.
The kind gesture by the opposition party was done over the weekend when Kwame Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, laid his father, Daniel Obeng, who died on Thursday, July 13, 2023, to rest.
As part of customs and traditions during funeral rites in Ghanaian societies, donations are made to the bereaved family.
The National Communications Officer for the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, made the donation on behalf of the party. While announcing the cash donation, he threw jabs at the government, noting that the money donated was not acquired through ‘illicit’ means such as the Electronic Transaction Levy or illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
The funeral ceremony, which attracted scores of mourners, including politicians, was held at Gomoa Pomadze in the Gomoa Central District of the Central Region.
Among the attendees were former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen, National Lottery Authority Director General, Sammi Awuku, Fadda Dickson from Despite Media and many others.
