Ga Mantse call for year-round corporate partnerships as Somoco Ghana makes Homowo donation

Somoco Ghana Limited has donated a range of items to the Ga Traditional Council in support of this year’s Ga Homowo Festival. 

The presentation, which took place at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra on Monday, August 12, 2025, included five Boxer 125X model motorbikes valued at GH¢100,000, assorted alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, bottled water, and cash. The items also featured two Bruhm UHD Smart OS LED televisions, donated by Somotex Ghana Limited.

The delegation was led by Nii Ayi Hyde, Country Director of the Mohinani Group and Managing Director of Somoco Ghana Limited.

Speaking through a linguist, Ga Mantse King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II expressed gratitude for the gesture but urged the company to maintain regular engagement with the Palace beyond festival periods. “The Homowo festivities should not be the only time when corporate bodies should come to aid in the development efforts of the Ga State,” he said.

Somoco Ghana Limited is the sole authorised distributor of Boxer motorbikes and Bajaj RE auto rickshaws in Ghana, and a subsidiary of the Mohinani Group, which also owns Somotex Ghana Limited.

The Ga Homowo Festival, a celebration of harvest and thanksgiving, is one of the most prominent traditional events in the Greater Accra Region.
