He said the directives were part of measures laid down by the Security Council to ensure a peaceful Homowo celebration in the Ga State this year.
Mr Blankson stated this after presenting some items and cash on behalf of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to three Ga Traditional Councils towards the Homowo festival.
He was accompanied by the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, and some government officials. They included the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Ishmael Ashitey and the Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah.
Mr Blankson said the chiefs remained key stakeholders in the development of the Ga State and the country at large and, therefore, deserved the support of the government.
Presentation
The Ngleshi Alata clan, which is the traditional home of the First Lady, were the first to relieve the donation that included gallons of palm oil, bags of maize, crates of schnapps, whisky and an amount of GH¢5000.
The Afienaa Mantse of the Ngleshie Alata clan, Nii Asro Hanson, received the items on behalf of the Paramount Chief of James Town, Nii Obrempong Kojo Ababio V.
Similar donations were made to the Akumajen and the Otublohum clans.
