Mrs Rebecca Akufo Addo, the wife of the New Patriotic Party’s Presidential candidate, has donated GH? 5,000.00 to the Ageing Musicians Welfare Fund (AMWeF) being operated by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA).

Mrs Akufo Addo said her decision to make the donation was due to the deep concern both she and her husband Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo had for the welfare of the older generation of not only musicians but all creative persons.

A statement issued by MUSIGA and forwarded to the Ghana News Agency by Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, the Director of Communications and Special Projects said Mr Bice Osei Kuffour the President of the organisation, who received the donation, expressed the Union’s appreciation for the gesture.

The statement noted that “at the recent MUSIGA Grand Ball, which raised funds for AMWeF, various political party representatives pledged their support for free, fair and peaceful elections on December 7”.

The Grand Ball is an annual event by MUSIGA to raise funds for AMWeF and other MUSIGA projects.
