Concerns of the caterers should be addressed quickly

Concerns of the caterers should be addressed quickly

Dear Editor

 While it is impossible to predict when or how we will leave this world, it is essential to make the most of the time we have and live our lives to the fullest before we depart.

Death is an inevitable and could come unexpectedly before one has the chance to prepare.

The recent death of a young female in her mid-twenties in Kumasi has been making headlines and continues to draw the atten­tion of Ghanaians.

According to reports, the tragic event occurred around 10 pm on Thursday, April 20, 2023, in the vicinity of Dufie Towers, located behind Aseda House in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

The details of the incident are very disturbing and my heart goes out to the bereaved family as we monitor court proceedings on the matter.

On Tuesday, April 25, 2023, the suspect was arrested and ar­raigned before court. I, therefore, write to urge the court to “speed up” with its proceedings for jus­tice to prevail.

In spite of the heightened pub­lic interest in the case, we must still allow the court to operate and we must not be quick to pass judgement before the court makes a final ruling. While at it, I would like to advise the young to look before they leap when it comes to matters regarding relationship.

 Make Heritage Day celebration compulsory for workers

 Dear Editor,

I want to use this platform to suggest that the celebration of Heritage Month is declared compulsory, especially for workers in state agencies.

It is very interesting watching broadcasters adorned in diverse tra­ditional regalia on our screens, tell­ing the stories of the various tribes in the country.

But away from the television sets, there is practically nothing to see in town suggesting the celebration of such an important activity.

Once in the month, we also see our school children celebrating the event by dressing to depict where they come from.

But just as was done with the Chocolate Day celebration, I wish to suggest that workers in state agencies are forced to partake in the event. Within that month, every working staff should be made to dress in African prints or ones that would show where they come from.

That, to a large extent would give people a lot of education about their ancestry and their cultural values.

I have a few friends that are Gas from the Greater Accra region but because their parents stayed in other regions and gave birth to them outside Accra, they have little or no idea about where they actually come from.

Some of these activities would go a long way to educate such people to know their real homes.

I expect the Ministry of Tourism to play an active role in the success of this exercise.
