General News of Saturday, 29 September 2018Source: Graphic.com.ghThree communities banned from celebrating Kundum FestivalWestern Regional Minister, Dr Kwaku AfriyieThe Western Regional Security Council (WRSC) has banned three coastal communities from celebrating this year’s Kundum Festival. This followed last Wednesday’s violent clashes triggered by disagreements over the celebration of the Kundum Festival by the chiefs and people of Apremdo. Ms Adiku added that the festival was normally celebrated in some coastal areas in the region. She, however, indicated that it was being marred at some of the communities this year due to chieftaincy disagreements. Asked why the other two coastal communities of Asseke and Whindo were also banned from celebrating the festival, she explained that those communities also had existing chieftaincy issues to grapple with, hence the need to take precautionary measures.
