Alhaji Saaed, a UK-based Ghanaian Lawyer, has called on the National Executives of the Muslim community to fund activities of Imams to discharge their mandates diligently and efficiently.

He said given the critical roles Imams played in the Islamic religion and society in general, it was imperative for government and the Muslim community to support them to do their work effectively.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, at Kamgbunli, days after the sudden death of the Deputy District Chief Imam at Asasetre, Mr Saaed observed that the Imams worked without any form of support for their health and general upkeep.

He stated that the Kamgbunli Muslim community in the Diaspora had decided to institute a fund to pay the District Chief Imam at Kamgbunli GHC3,000 as monthly salary as their contribution towards supporting Imams.
