Ga Homowo: Ban on noise making starts May 14 to June 14, 2018
The Ga Traditional Council (GTC) has placed a ban on drumming and
noise-making in the traditional area starting from May 14 to June 14,
2018.
The one-month long ban is a custom that precedes the celebration of the Homowo Festival of the chiefs and people of Ga Mashie.
Nii Dodoo Nsaki II, the acting President of the GTC announced this
when he addressed a news conference at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra on
Monday.
He called on the chiefs and the elders of Accra and its environs to
ensure that the ban was enforced in their respective areas in
collaboration with the local district Assemblies.
Nii Dodoo Nsaki said a monitoring team had been put in place with
special identity cards to ensure the compliance of the ban with the
support of the Police, Asafoatsemei and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly
special taskforce.
“They will visit flashy points and arrest recalcitrant churches,
noisemakers and those who will impersonate or imposters,” he said.
He said the GTC had reached understanding with the Orthodox churches and they had expressed their cooperation during the ban.
