A year has gone a full circle since the call to eternity of the late Hon. Ishmael Ashitey, a former Greater Accra Regional Minister and a former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). 

On Sunday, 12th March 2023, a remembrance service was held in his memory at the Emmanuel Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Tema New Town.

Family and friends, later, converged at the  reception ground of the Kaysens Grande Hotel to celebrate the life of the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema.

Hon. Patrick Kwesi Brako Kumor the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly (WGMA) was among the large crowd of dignitaries who celebrated the late Patriot and statesman.

 The occasion was, also, used to unveil the recipients of the Honourable Ishmael Ashitey Foundation (HIAF) for Academic Excellence Scholarship.
