A colourful ceremony at the forecourt of the Sunyani

Municipal Assembly last Friday meant to present relief items to disaster

victims was thrown into unprecedented state shock in the annals of Sunyani Municipal

Assembly when a family in the presence of journalists informed

the MCE Hon.Kwasi Oppong Nkrumah they were no longer interested in the relief

items to be presented to them. The unexpected news hit the MCE like a bombshell

and halted the ceremony for about five minutes for the officers to reorganize

themselves before the programme could continued.

It will be recalled , on the 9th September,2011

fire gutted the home of the Cubagee family at Abonsuam , a suburb of

Sunyanidestroying items estimated at GH¢25,000.00 according to report

from the Municipal Assembly Nadmo Office cited by this reporter .

Moment before the presentation , Mr.Uriel Cubagee who was at

the ceremony to receive the items on behalf of the family surprisingly informed

Hon. Oppong Nkrumah, the family was no longer interested in items and left the

forecourt.

When Mr.Cubagee was contacted by the press to ascertain the

reason behind his action , he declined comment and said it was a family decision.

Grapevine source indicate, the items , two packets of iron

sheets meant for the family were rejected on the grounds that the items had

political undertone and were

of inferior quality intended to ridicule the family as a result of the conduct

of former assemblyman Raphael Cubageetowards

the Assembly.
