Kwahu Development Association cautions this year’s paragliders

Participants of the 2013 paragliding event at the Kwahu Mountains in the Eastern region have been forewarned to stay away from indecent behavior.

Last year, there were media reports about some participants allegedly engaged in open sex.

To curtail such nefarious activities, the Kwahu Development Association has served notice restricting this year’s participants from acts that will mar the beauty of the event.

Spokesperson for the Kwahu Development Association, Kingsley Young Opare in an interview with Citi News indicated that the event organisers have liaised with the police to deal with miscreants on the day of the event.

According to Kingsley, activities such as parking at unauthorized places, reckless driving, use of unregistered Motorbikes, criminal activities, indiscipline and hooliganism will not be entertained.

“The Kwahu Development Association wishes to underscore that Kwahu is a disciplined and religious community with high morals and would be the last to allow or encourage visitors to do such despicable things,” the group said.

The annual Kwahu Easter Festival has now become an omnibus event where all manner of people throng to the top of the Kwahu Ridge to celebrate.

To the indigenes of Kwahu, Easter celebration is a moment where families embark on a massive home coming and this provides an opportunity to reflect on the past and make amends, forging ahead to face the future with unity and love. Families get united after being away for long and the traditional authorities use the opportunity to meet with community members.
