Don’t copy blindly, make decent dressing hallmark
Rev Prof Dorothy Akoto
The Vice President of the Trinity Theological Seminary, Legon, in the Greater Accra region, Rev. Prof. Dorothy B.E.A. Akoto has expressed concern about indecent dressing among females in recent times.
She said the fact that the trend was not just about the youth but even among older people was more worrying because they are expected to set good examples for the younger ones.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator on Saturday, Rev. Prof. Akoto observed that the level of exposure of important body parts had become common at gatherings.
She said dressing decently and appropriately to functions was important so that they do not become nuisance to others and questioned why men covers up their bodies and the women rather expose them.
Rev. Prof. Akoto said it was about time females rethink and make decency a hallmark.
She advised parents especially mothers to set good examples for their children by encouraging them to dress well when they are going out of their homes.
The Vice President of the Seminary said, people must know that, they did not have to copy blindly or do what others were doing just to be relevant.
She also advised that persons who use social media should be careful so that they do not imitate what could be harmful to them and the society in future.
She revealed that, some persons had become victims of drug abuse, sexual immorality, alcoholism among others just because they wanted to be like others.
Rev Prof Akoto also urged children to be obedient to their parents and the elderly.
She explained that sometimes as children grew up, there was the tendency to feel that they know it all and so would not want to do as they were told but go their own ways.
That, she said, had led to the destruction of many, explaining that on many occasions parents advised their children not to do things a certain way because of their experience over the years.
She also advised parents to make their children their friends so that they would be able to freely approach them about their problems in life to receive the right directions so that they do not stray.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
