A Ghanaian businessman and philanthropist, Ohene Kwame Frimpong marked a historic moment in Asante Akyem Agogo with the launch of an ultramodern mosque.

The ceremony, held under the auspices of the Omanhene of Agogo, Nana Akuoko Sarpong, saw high-profile religious and traditional leaders, including Ghana’s National Chief Imam, Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, in attendance.

Mr. Frimpong, the CEO of Salt Media Group, personally funded the construction of the Agogo Central Mosque, a mega-structural project that includes vast areas for extracurricular activities, large worshipping auditoriums accommodating over 3,000 people, and essential facilities such as a clinic with a maternity ward serving the entire community.

The National Chief Imam presented special recognition awards to Mr. Ohene Kwame Frimpong, acknowledging his benevolence and extraordinary efforts in fostering religious harmony. Prayers were offered in the mosque led by the Chief Imam and other Islamic leaders present.

Abeiku Santana, a media personality and board member of Salt Media Group, expressed his admiration for Mr Frimpong's charity initiatives and praised the dynamic role of the National Chief Imam in promoting inter-religious harmony.

In a surprising announcement during the ceremony, Mr. Ohene Kwame Frimpong declared his bid to contest as an Independent Candidate for the Asante Akyem Constituency. Expressing deep commitment to the constituency, he stated, "I truly have the Asante Akyem Constituency at heart, and I want to get into a higher position, being an MP, to be able to do more for the people. With your continuous support, I believe I can secure the seat and change the lives of the people."

Before the mosque's commissioning, Mr. Frimpong demonstrated his commitment to the underserved by donating significantly to widows and the vulnerable in the Asante Akyem Agogo communities as part of the Christmas and New Year festivities.

Following the successful event, a refreshment party was held at a private location for the visitors and attendees.

Additionally, Ohene Kwame Frimpong announced his intention to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections for the Asante Akyem North constituency, aiming to bring further development to the region.
