Share your experiences on governance, seniors told
Sekondi, July 2, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Anthony Evans Amoah,
Western Regional Minister, on Tuesday called on senior
citizens to share their rich experiences on governance to
enrich the country’s democratic process.
He said senior citizens should make it their obligation to
share their experiences so that future generation would not
repeat mistakes of the past.
“Ghana has come a long way since independence 51 years ago
and her achievements must be consolidated and improved
upon,“ he added.
Mr Amoah made the call at a luncheon organised by Western
Regional Coordinating Council for 200 senior citizens at
Sekondi.
He called for unity in the Region to take advantage of the
revenue from the oil find to develop the area.
Mr Kwesi Blay, Deputy Western Regional Minister, appealed to
chiefs from Ahanta and Nzema Traditional Areas to refrain
from any litigation over the location of the oil find.
Six senior citizens were honoured for their contribution
towards development of the Region.
They were Dr Justice Addison, an industrialist, Dr Francis
Percy Ocran, a Surgeon, Nana Kofi Abuna V, Chief of Essipong,
Mr Alfred Cudjoe, an educationist, Madam Marian Andoh-Kesson,
an educationist and Mr Edward Acquah, a footballer.
Madam Andoh-Kesson, on behalf of the recipients, advised
public and civil servants to be committed to their work to
enable government achieve its targets and improve living
standards.
