He pledged the Chamber’s continuous assistance towards the success of the funeral arrangements of the late president.

Madam Bertha Ansah-Djan, Chief Executive Officer, Microfinance and Small Loans Centre, who received the items on behalf of the Funeral Planning Committee, expressed her appreciation to the Chamber for its kind gesture.
