Emena residents applauded for embarking on a cleanup exercise before the queen’s mother’s funeral

 

The Aspiring Parliamentary Candidate for the Oforikrom Constituency, Mr. Michael Akwasi Aidoo, praised the Emena community for participating in a cleanup effort that was organized to mark the funeral rite of the Emena Queenmother Obaapanin, Afia Sarpong who passed away last year.

Mr. Michael Aidoo expressed his dissatisfaction with the roads in the Emena Community and requested that the contractor who was awarded the contract take expeditious action on them. Although, he was thrilled that nearly all of the youth participated in the exercise to maintain the environment clean.

In addition, he stated that the Emena school requires enlargement to house the enormous number of children in the neighborhood and that he is in communication with the NLA to assist the school.

Mr. Aidoo commended Attorney Abraham Kwame Antwi, the Municipal Chief Executive of Oforikrom, for fencing the school for the community.

As part of the arrangements for the final funeral rites of Emena’s Queen Mother, Nana Afia Sarpong, who passed away in 2022, the Assembly members, members of the Unit Committee, and traditional leaders spearheaded a massive clean-up effort in the community. Emena is a suburb of the Oforikrom Municipality in the Ashanti Region.

The final funeral rites will be held at the Emena palace on Monday, November 6, 2023, according to Hon. Kenneth Owusu Bediako who is the assembly member for the electoral district of Emena, Boadi, Appiadu, and Kokoben.
