Government gives buses to Central
Region schools
Cape Coast, July 31, Ghanadot/GNA – The Central Regional
Coordinating Council (RCC) is investigating reports that
some drivers from second cycle institutions stole audio
tapes from new vehicles they had gone to fetch from Accra
for schools in the Region, authorities said on Thursday.
Nana Ato Arthur, Central Regional Minister, warned that
drivers found culpable would be punished.
He gave the warning when he presented buses to 24 Senior
High Schools in the Region on behalf of the government at
Cape Coast.
The beneficiary schools included Adisadel and Ghana National
Colleges, Mfantsipim School, Wesley Girls, and Secondary
Technical Schools at Efutu, Komenda and Mankessim.
The other recipients were Senior High Schools at Winneba,
Obrachire and Enyan-Denkyira, as well as Nsaba Presbyterian
and Boa-Amposem Senior High Schools.
Nana Arthur urged heads of the beneficiary schools to ensure
that the vehicles were well utilized and properly
maintained.
He bemoaned the situation where official vehicles were
misused, thereby shortening their lifespan.
Mrs Cecilia Kwakye Coffie, a representative of the Regional
Education Directorate, who received the buses, said the
vehicles would greatly boost the running of the schools.
