The Office of the Ashanti Regional Chief Imam plans to investigate why some Muslim youth at Agogo in the Asante Akyem North District of the Ashanti rejected a donation by Member of Parliament for the area.
The office says it will invite the leadership of the Muslim community at Agogo to enable it to understand the issue.

The youth claimed the MP had failed to fulfil some promises he made to the Muslims in the area.
Speaking to Citi News, secretary at the office of the Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheik Ahmed Saeed says they will soon look into the matter.
“The way and manner the donations were made might have made them angry. I wasn’t even aware of the donation and rejection, I heard over the radio, but we will still try to find out the reason they rejected because it was in the month of Ramadan may be the approach might have been wrong. Whatever we find out will be communicated,” he said.
The Moslem Youth in Agogo Zongo have justified their decision to reject a donation from the Member of Parliament for the Asante Akyem North Constituency, Andy Appiah Kubi for their Ramadan fast.
“He came with a contractor and gave us two weeks that the works would begin, but we haven’t seen anything. If he knows he is not going to fix the roads why come and give us a date. That is why we are returning the food items. Why would they make promises that they will develop the Zongos but rather give us sugar and rice,” he said.
The youth on Saturday rejected items presented to them as a donation from the NPP Member of Parliament, Andy Appiah Kubi for their Ramadan fast.
The donation which included bags of rice, sugar and cartons of milk was outrightly rejected by the youth in protest against what they said was the many failed promises of their MP.
The youth did not accord the District Chief Executive, Mr. Francis Oti Boateng the expected courtesies when he came to the community to present the items on behalf of the MP ahead of the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.
