The Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong, has boycotted this year’s Edil-Fitir worship that was held to climax the Ramadan fasting periods observed by Muslims globally.
The worship ceremony was staged at the Koforidua Central Mosque.
The Ramadan which was scheduled to kick start on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 9:00am, started at about 9:45 am following the Minister’s expectance.
However, with his inability to avail himself to grace the occasion, he fails to assigned anyone in his absence.
To worsen matters, the MCE for New Juaben South, Isaac Appaw Gyasi and his MP, Michael Okyere Baafi who were also expected failed to show up.
Responding to the development, the aid to the Minister, Rockson, said, it was not a deliberate move because, Mr. Acheampong had an emergency call where he had to attend to an equally important duty at Mampong in the Akuapem South Municipality.
