Government advised to step up consultations on Double Track Sysmem

Abeadze Dominase (C/R) Sept 01, GNA – Daasebre
Kwebu Ewusi VII, Vice President of the National House of Chiefs has entreated
the government to work in tandem with teacher associations and other
stakeholders to ensure the smooth implementation of double track system.

Daasebre Ewusi who is also the Paramount Chief
of Abeadze Traditional Area made the call in a speech he delivered at a durbar
to climax the 2018 Annual Ahobaa Kese festival held at Dominase.

“We need to bear in mind that solution in solutions
like these may not necessarily be comfortable, but we need to assure the youth
that the leadership of our great nation in all its various facets is good and
the national interest”.

He said equally important stakeholders were
the voiceless in the impasse: parents and students, saying “as two elephants
fight, it is the grass that suffers, parents of prospective new entrants are
asking, “Whose child should be left at home”.

While prospective new entrants are also asking
“whose admission must sacrifice and put on hold”?, so indeed , this a very
complicated issue but the nation is trusting its leaders for a solution,” he
stated. 

The paramount Chief said  teenage pregnancy was on the ascendency and
appealed to parents to take good care of the their girl children, adding that
they needed to be advised, counselled and guided to learn hard and to abstain
from early sex.

Daasebre Ewusi VII cautioned his chiefs,
Opinion leaders, Heads of families and Parents in the traditional area to
desist from settling rape and defilement cases in their homes, and added that
if news of such nature get to him, he will ensure that accused persons are
dealt with in accordance with the law to serve as deterrent to others.

He commended government on the fight against
illegal mining, and added that much as the effort by the government was aimed
at saving the environment, measures must be in place for alternative employment
for the citizenry.

Policies that would help sustain the
environment must also be put in place to ensure that small scale miners do not
flout the environmental laws, he added.
