The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has reaffirmed its support for the Kpelejoo festival, assuring residents of adequate security before, during and after the celebration.
This follows a visit by the management of the Assembly to the Tema Traditional Council, where a donation was made to support the annual festival.
The Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Ebi Bright, described the gesture as part of the Assembly’s responsibility to uphold the cultural heritage of the people of Tema.
She said the visit was to pledge the Assembly’s support and reaffirm its commitment to work closely with traditional authorities to ensure a successful celebration.
Ms Bright assured that the Assembly, in collaboration with security agencies, had put in place measures to prevent any disturbances, stressing that there would be zero tolerance for acts of indiscipline.
She noted that the Kpelejoo festival symbolised peace, unity and reconciliation, and must be celebrated in an atmosphere that reflects those values.
Ms Bright also highlighted ongoing efforts to restore order in the city, including addressing encroachment and improving sanitation, to enhance Tema’s image as an industrial and port city.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the Council, the Acting President of the Tema Traditional Council, Nii Adjetey Agbo expressed gratitude to the Assembly for the continued support.
He commended the TMA for its commitment to strengthening ties between the local authority and traditional leadership, adding that the contribution would go a long way to ensure a successful festival.
He also assured that the Council would work closely with the Assembly and security agencies to maintain law and order throughout the celebration.
Commending the MCE for her performance in office so far, Nii Agbo pledged the Council’s support towards restoring and maintaining Tema as the model City in Ghana.
The Kpelejoo Festival is marked by traditional rites, drumming and dancing, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Tema people.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
