Kumasi, May 21, GNA - Star Assurance Company Limited on Friday donated a cheque for 20 million cedis to support the Asanteman 'Adae Kese' and the fifth anniversary of the enstoolment of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Presenting the cheque in Kumasi, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, said the company had followed with keen interest the untiring efforts of the Asantehene to ensure unity and development not only in Asanteman, but also in Ghana as a whole.

Oheneba Adusei Poku, Akyempimhene, who received the cheque on behalf of Otumfuo Osei Tutu, thanked the company for the gesture.
