These include a memorial church service at Jasikan, wreath-laying, and the launch of Ford Kamel Foundation in aid of less privileged children.
The Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Mr Francis Ganyaglo, laid the first wreath on behalf of the government of Ghana, the second which was on behalf of the Volta Regional Coordinating Council(VRCC) was laid by its chief director, Mr Ibrahim Alhassan , while another was laid on behalf of Parliament by MP for Buem constituency, Mr Daniel Asiamah. the acting president of Buem traditional area, Nana Kwami Bugru Brantuo, laid another on behalf of the chiefs and people of the traditional area and the last one was laid by the regional chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Kwasi Aboagye on behalf of NDC.
Delivering the sermon at the service held at the St Peter Claver Cathedral at Jasikan, the associate Parish Priest, Reverend Father Patrick Aberror, said the celebration was a moment for God’s intervention for his soul, the family and the entire government.
He said it behoved every individual to live in holiness as the relationship with God demanded that.
“Whether you are NDC, NPP, CPP and or any other group, we should stop revenging,” he said.
Rev. Fr Aberror said the region and nation as a whole had lost a man whose appearance in a conflict situation suddenly ended the confusion, and called on all to emulate the lifestyle of the late Kamel.
“It should be a day to celebrate and to add value to the achievements of the late Mr Kamel and struggle to live to perfection,” he charged.
