As custom demands, Abusuapanyin Osei Berko presented a box of schnapps and some foreign drinks which were received by the President’s Secretary.

While commiserating with the family of Dr. Siaw Agyepong for their loss, President Akufo-Addo eulogised late Samuel Agyepong, stressing that he has given Ghana Dr. Siaw Agyepong, who continues to contribute his quota in various sectors, towards the development and growth of the country.

He minced no words in asserting that under his presidency, Dr. Siaw Agyepong was one businessman who has contributed immensely towards the development of Ghana.

Though the President was not too sure whether he could travel to Obo for the burial, he gave the assurance that he will ensure that he participates in the funeral at the State House.
