The Kwabenya Traditional Area has announced a ban on drumming and noise-making effective May 23 to June 15, 2023.
The three (3) week-long ban forms part of activities to mark the 2023 Homowo festival.
The ban affects any form of noise-making, including the use of loudspeakers, drums, tambourines, funeral rites and roadside evangelism.
Addressing the media on behalf of the Kwabenya Traditional Area, the Musuku Mantse, Nii Tetteh Ofatse Dza Nyomo II who doubles as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) urged the public to respect the 3-week long ban stating that a task force has been constituted to prosecute offenders.
Nii Tetteh Ofatse reiterated that during the period of the ban, churches are expected to carry out their activities within their premises and refrain from the use of musical instruments and that positioning of loudspeakers outside the premises of churches, mosques and pubs are banned, while roadside evangelists are to cease their activities during the period.
The chief also warned against the trend where some private individuals and groups without any authority attempt to enforce the ban on drumming and noise making.
