The donated items included Herb Afrik Gin Bitters, Castle Bridge, Mandingo Bitters, TAKAI, Kaiser Aromatic Schnapps, Apet Dry Gin, Chevalier Brandy, GIHOC Hand sanitizers, and some undisclosed amount of cash.
The items were received by the Paramount Chief of the Greater Accra Region, Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, and some other Ga chiefs.
The Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, on behalf of the Ga Traditional Council and his sub-chiefs, thanked the MD and the entire management of GIHOC for the kind gesture.
According to the Media Relations Manager of GIHOC, Afua Foriwaa Boafoh, the donation formed part of the Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) of the company.
“GIHOC is proud to be associated once again with this year’s edition of the Ga Homowo Festival. This is something we do every year in acknowledgment of the preservation of culture, customs, and traditions as Ghanaians,” she stated.
She added: “GIHOC has also used the opportunity to make similar donations to other Ga communities as they prepare to celebrate the Homowo Festival.”
She further urged traditional authorities to use festivals and other traditional occasions to pray and seek for the progress and success of businesses in Ghana.
The GIHOC team further reminded the chiefs about the need to observe strict COVID-19 protocols during the celebrations.
