Justice Amoah, who doubles as the Secretary to Central Funeral Planning Committee of the late Ga Manye, added that “We also expect them to decorate their business premises with black and red drippings”.
The various markets are also to drip all their surroundings in black and red because “we are mourning together, it’s not just the palace so we are respectfully calling on all to coorporate with us in this time of grief.”
Lady Justice Amoah made this known when a delegation from Jospong Group of Companies led by Mrs. Adokarley Okpoti- Paulo, Group Financial Controller for Environmental & Sanitation Group/ Finance Director of Zoomlion Ghana Limited signed the book of condolence at the Ga Traditional Council on Friday September 8, 2023.

She announced that, Zoomlion Ghana Ltd., a subsidiary of the group will take charge of all the sanitation related issues regarding the funeral.

Receiving the items, Nii Ahene Nunoo III, commended the Group for the gesture and prayed for long life for the Executive Chairman of the Group.
