Many are asking questions as to why former Presidents John Mahama and John Rawlings are not present at Ghana’s 63rd independence anniversary celebration.

The event which is being held at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region has seen both former Presidents missing.

In attendance is His Royal Mejesty, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Trinidad & Tobago Prime Minister Dr Keith Christopher Rowley is the Guest of Honour.

But the event did not have most of the members of the opposition in attendance.

A Chair with the inscription John Mahama, which is close to former President John Agyekum Kufuor is empty.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings is also not at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Most of the Minority Members of Parliament were absent. It is unclear whether the National Democratic Congress (NDC) deliberately boycotted the event.

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor and President Akufo-Addo are all present.

The holy month of Ramadan for Muslims began on Thursday (file photo) In a statement on Thursday, the religious police force, known as Hisbah Board, warned that those who engage in societal vices during the sacred month will be punished, local media reported. “Some of the youths who eat in public during the fasting period will not be spared either,” the commander-general of the board, Harun Ibn-Sina, was quoted as saying. Mr Ibn-Sina said the board has deployed officers to mosques to ensure the safety during the fasting period which started on Thursday. Hisbah Board enforces Islamic law in Kano, a largely Muslim state.
