The Ga Traditional Council (GTC) has legally
imposed the traditional fine on the Saint Margaret Mary Catholic Church, SSNIT Flat; Faith Independent Baptist Church; Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Abeka-Lapaz; Winners Chapel International, Head Office; the Church of Pentecost, Kaneshie Branch and Pure Fire Miracle Ministries International, Kisseman for flouting the ban on drumming and noise-making observed by the Ga State.
The GTC has given these faith based organisations have up to one week (June 26) each to pay a fine of GH¢3,000, one sheep and one box of Castle Bridge Gin.
Failure to do so would attract further punitive measures, according to the GTC headed by Ga Mantse, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsruru II.
The one-month ban on all forms of noise-making and drumming in Accra commenced from May 15, 2023, to June 15, 2023, as part of preparations for the celebration of the Homowo festival by the Ga people.
The ban affects any form of noise-making, including the use of loudspeakers, drums, tambourines, funeral rites, and roadside evangelism.
The Ga Wulomo in charge of the Task Force, Numoo Nikoi Amasah II told Soireenews.com that two of the six churches – the Church of Pentecost, Kaneshie Branch and Pure Fire Miracle Ministries International, Kisseman, who failed to show up before the Council are still bound by the fine.
The Ga traditional ruler urged citizens to take a cue from the case and observe the traditions and rules that governed the Ga State.
“Anyone who visits another country or state should endeavour to obey and observe their laws and traditions so that he or she won’t get into trouble. We are all one people so, let’s endeavour to always observe the ban to foster peace and unity amongst us all,” he said.
