The same month saw two teenagers in the Brong Ahafo region, doing the dance together on a moving motorcycle, killed in a sharp-curve crash with another motorist. A young woman with an alleged history of seizure disorders was also reported in 2017 to have died in the Central region whilst twirling to the \u201cOne Corner\u201d jingle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a demonic dance,\u201d moaned the Deputy Attorney General. \u201cI have watched several videos in which children engage in this dance in a manner as to tell me that the future is bleak for us. And I\u2019m saying this because the young ones are easily influenced by some of these things. Especially when it happens in the night\u2014 they engage in all sorts of vices that are detrimental to their growth and progress\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He put this concern across when he undertook a donation tour of his constituency where he offered two motorcycles apiece to the Tempane Health Centre and the Kpikpira Health Centre, a motorised tricycle to the Tempane Senior High School and five exercise books to every child in all 22 Junior High Schools in the constituency.<\/p>\n<p><b>MP prescribes cure for \u201cOne Corner\u201d fever<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The legislator, speaking to journalists after the tour, also disclosed his intention to come down hard on \u201cOne Corner\u201d dance in his constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs MP, I intend to liaise with my DCE (District Chief Executive) and the chiefs so that we institute some byelaws in the assembly to check these excesses and to make sure that our children are well moulded. We cannot in the name of human rights allow our culture to deteriorate and allow society to go into such vices that would be a nuisance to us in future in the name of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a limit to every right that is exercised under the sun. There is no right that is without limit. Every privilege goes with a responsibility and we will make sure that we use the traditional authorities, assembly members as well as opinion leaders to ensure that such things do not happen in our area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Kusaug Kingdom, which covers all the present-day six constituencies and five assemblies in the Bawku Traditional Area, already had imposed a ban on involvement of young people in late-night entertainment at funerals, known also as \u201cspinning\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the six Kusaug constituencies, spinning at funerals has been banned. Strictly speaking, it\u2019s not allowed because of the history of how it affected the children\u2019s education and how it also ate into our culture,\u201d the policymaker stated.<\/p>\n<p><b>GH\u00a21,000 Scholarships for 20 Students<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Attorney General also told a Ghana Education Service (GES) delegation, who accompanied him on the day-long tour, to hand him a list of twenty pupils with first-rate results from yet-to-be-written 2018 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for a scholarship package of Gh\u00a21,000 each.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDirector (referring to the Garu-Tempane District Director of Education, Edward Azure), I would like this one on record. Apart from the fact that the Free Senior High School Policy is there for all of them, we would like you to also give us the best twenty students from the Tempane Constituency in the 2018 BECE and each of them will be given Gh\u00a21,000 to go to school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat it means is that those students would need nothing from their parents and they will take their GH\u00a21,000 and go to school. The idea is to increase it to 40 beneficiaries in 2019 to see how we can assist the brilliant ones to realise their potential,\u201d announced the Deputy Minister for Justice who also promised to provide every candidate for this year\u2019s BECE with a set of mathematical instruments (maths set).<\/p>\n<p>He added as a crowd of constituents clapped thunderously: \u201cThe days of political promises are over. Those days\u2014 when people would come and deceive you, you would clap for them, they would go and they would not come back\u2014 are over! Those days have died and they have been buried and their funerals have been performed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 5 January 2018 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2018-01-05 Deputy Attorney General and lawmaker for Tempane, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka A Deputy Attorney General and lawmaker for Tempane, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, has disapproved of the \u2018One Corner Dance\u2019 in very strong terms, saying it is a \u201cdemonic\u201d invention destructive enough to derail Ghana\u2019s future.
