The Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwesimintsim Constituency in the Western Region, Dr Prince Hamid Armah, has donated food items and an undisclosed amount of money to his Muslims colleagues, as a token of goodwill to support their 30 days journey into the holy month of Ramadan.
The items include 30 bags of sugar, 30 cartons of milk, 30 cartons of tea, and 50 assorted cartons of soft drinks.
The donation was made few days ago to representatives from the various mosques in the constituency at a short ceremony.
The items were presented on behalf of the Member of Parliament (MP) by Mr Jerry Hanson, Constituency First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Abubakar Ibrahim, Deputy Nasara Coordinator of the party in the constituency, and other party stalwarts.
Presenting the items, Mr Hanson said the gesture was in support of the Muslim community as they embark on the month of fasting and prayer.
He said the donation was one of many ways in which Dr Armah would be supporting the community, and pledged the MP’s continued support and assistance to the community.
He asked Muslims to pray for the constituency, the country, and leaders at all levels so they can give their best to the people.
Sheikh Abdul Rahman of the Kwesimintsim Central Mosque, who received the donation on behalf of the community, expressed gratitude for the donation. The items are to be distributed to all mosques in the constituency.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and is observed with fasting and prayer by all Muslim faithful around the world to commemorate Prophet Mohammed receiving the Holy Quran.
