The Nsuta Traditional Council has announced an immediate ban on the \u201cone-week\u201d funeral celebration in the area.<\/p>\n

Nana Adu-Agyei Bonsafo III, the Omanhene, said the situation where bereaved families marked the seventh day after they had lost a relative with huge funeral gatherings amidst donations by sympathizers would no longer be allowed.<\/p>\n

This is part of measures by the Council to cut down on funeral expenses.<\/p>\n

The Omanhene said money that went into such celebrations should rather be channelled into children\u2019s education.<\/p>\n

Nana Adu-Agyei was speaking at a durbar held to mobilize funds in aid of the construction of a GH\u00a2150,000.00 Community Centre.<\/p>\n

The centre, which is being implemented through voluntary contributions by citizens of the town both resident and non-residents, has reached the lintel level.<\/p>\n

Mr Ebenezer Akuoko Frimpong, District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sekyere Central, urged the people to step up efforts at improving their living conditions through self-help.<\/p>\n

The district assembly would support communities that take the initiative to tackle their development challenges themselves.<\/p>\n

The DCE on behalf of the assembly donated 100 bags of cement towards the project.<\/p>\n

Mr Kwabena Owusu, Unit Committee Secretary, praised the people for their self-help spirit and urged them to make sure that it was sustained.<\/p>\n
