Ntiribuoho sets up 11-member committee to tackle indiscipline

Ntiribuoho (Ash), March 10, GNA - Ntiribuoho, a sprawling community in Afigya Kwabre has set up an 11-member committee to tackle the growing indiscipline there. The committee is mandated to draft bye-laws for approval by the district assembly to regulate the sale of building plots, deal with problems of child delinquency, invocation of curses, wee-smoking, gambling and all forms of lawlessness.

This followed a meeting held by the people of the town on Thursday after which a consensus was reached that more needed to be done to ensure the inhabitants lived within the law.

Mr Sampson Adu-Poku, a member of the committee, noted that the community could not achieve any significant progress if the population chose to be lawless.

He said the situation where individuals and some families sold lands to developers and pocketed the entire proceeds, denying the community of its share of the money, could no longer be accepted. Mr Adu-Poku said the matter needed to be taken up with the chiefs for the proper thing to be done.

The meeting urged the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and the School Management Committee (SMC) to work hard to improve the academic performance of school children in the town.

It also commended the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Mr Emmanuel Asamoah Owusu-Ansah, for donating building materials in support of a school library project.
