The Member of Parliament for Damongo and the Minister of Lands and Natural resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has stated he is now a Konkomba by marriage.
He made these remarks over the weekend in a speech read on his behalf at 45th annual convention of Konkomba Youth Association (KOYA) in Saboba.
“I am a Konkomba by marriage. Ever since I married my beautiful wife Naada, I became half Konkomba and half Gonja and, therefore, a member of the Konkomba Youth Association,” he said.
“I, therefore, urge the GLYA and KOYA to work closely together to address challenges facing our people. I also welcome the policy of KOYA to say goodbye to bow and arrow and welcome to pen and book,” he added.
The Minister further apologised for not being there in person as he would have wished because he just returned from other duties outside the country a day before the event.
Mr Jinapor made a cash donation of GH₵20,000.00 towards to support KOYA’s activities.
