We stand ready to offer physical, emotional and any other support required as we await details of the funeral arrangements from the family,” he stated.
The MCE also acknowledged the immense contribution of the late Nai Abokuoade Agyemang Wyette to the development and unity of the Awutu traditional area and described his passing as a significant loss to the municipality.
