KSM performs at HomeComing Show

Kwaku Sintim-Misa, popularly known as KSM, will perform extracts from his crowd-pulling stand up comedy, The Saga Of the Returnee play, at the Accra International Conference Centre on Sunday, July 22 from 8:00pm. KSM’s appearance will be part of an entertainment gala to welcome participants to the first-ever Homecoming Summit scheduled for July 23 to 25. Other acts billed for the show are Lord Kenya, Western Diamonds, Nkomode, Suzzie and Matt, Afrikana Dance Company and Alabaster Box.

The Homecoming Summit is being organized by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) in conjunction with a number of national and international allied institutions.

The theme for the summit is Harnessing The Global Ghanaian Resource Potential For Accelerated National Development. The Summit aims at creating and institutionalizing a platform for a continuous dialogue and opportunity for the Ghanaian community abroad to interact with their country in very purposeful, productive and mutually beneficial ways. Ghanaians and friends of Ghana are being expected to attend the Summit from all over the world.

According to Mr Akunu Dake, Consultant and Co-ordinator for the Summit, the idea is to strategise a relationship between Ghana and its citizens abroad. “It is a non-partisan relationship that seeks primarily to help develop Ghana. Our people abroad are a critical resource that cannot be ignored.

They are important stakeholders in the country’s development and we need to see them as partners in all our endeavours,” he stated.

There will be plenary sessions and workshops at which the participants, who are coming from a variety of backgrounds including engineering, medicine, banking, accounting, agriculture, science, culture, insurance and law, will explore opportunities for productive relations between themselves and their country. The three-day Summit will also look at ways of tapping into the acquired capacities of Ghanaians living abroad for the creation of the national wealth.
