The Acting Chairperson of the Asante Akyem Presbytery, Rev. Mavis Hannah Yeboah, on behalf of the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) on Wednesday, 1st April 2026, led a delegation to the Agogo Traditional Council to offer condolences on the passing of the Paramount Chief of the Asante Akyem Agogo Traditional Area, Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong.
The Paramount Chief, who passed away last week at age 88, was a respected traditional ruler, lawyer, and politician. He served as Secretary for Health and as a Member of the Council of State for many years. Nana Akuoko Sarpong ruled Agogo for over four decades, marking 47 years on the throne in 2023, and contributed significantly to the town’s development, particularly in agriculture.
He, during his reign, worked closely with the church, which has notable health and educational institutions in Agogo. The PCG delegation presented packs of water to the Council as a gesture of sympathy, acknowledging the late chief’s remarkable legacy. The presentation underscored the PCG’s solidarity with the Traditional Authority and its respect for Nana’s commitment to stability, development, and traditional governance.
The delegation included Rev. Joseph Afari Buabeng (Presbytery Clerk), Mr. Seth Adu (Lay Representative), Rev. Sledge Siaw Marfo (ESR Director), Rev. Michael Badu (Juansa District Minister), Rev. Bright Agyekum Kobea (Agogo District Minister), Rev. Seth Ahunamang Appiah (Odumasi District Minister), Rev. Mrs. Janet Ohenewaa Larbi (Nobewam District Minister), Rev. Matthew Kofi Asiedu (Domeabra District Minister), and Mr. Solomon Boakye Akosa (Presbytery PRO).
