MP donates items to Muslims MP donates items to Muslims

The Member of Parliament for the Osu Korle-Klottey Constituency, Nii Amarh Ashitey, has donated items worth GHc14,300 to the Muslim community in support of their Ramadan.

The items included bags of rice, bags of maize, cartons of milk and boxes of sugar.

Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is a month where the Holy Quran was first sent down to the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa'Sallam). During the Ramadan month, Muslims all around the world must fast.

Presenting the items, the MP, a former Minster of Employment and Labour Relations, said that the items were to support all the Muslims in his constituency as they continue with their fasting.

He urged every Muslim never to give up along the way but endeavor to see the fasting through to the end.

“The last 10 days are very crucial because it is believed that it is the period when the Angels come down and bless people. “So pray for the constituency and the nation as a whole so that Allah blesses the land. This flood and fire disaster must never happen again,” Hon. Nii Amarh Ashitey remarked.

Receiving the donation, the Osu Korle-Klottey Constituency Chairman, Muhamed Bashiru Nii Narh Alema, thanked the Minister for his unflinching support towards all Muslims in the constituency.

He promised to ensure that the donations were “equitably distributed to the right people” in the constituency.
