DCE Hints on a ByeLaw to Prevent Children from Attending Funerals

The District Chief Executive of Akatsi North James Gunu has hinted an imminent bye law to prevent children in the district from late night loitering and funeral attendance.

According to the District Chief Executive, the situation where children are seen loitering and prowling late in the night at expense of their studies derails academic performance in the district.

 He revealed that in a bid to improve academic performance in the district, the assembly is considering enacting a bylaw to reduce the tendency among children to attend funerals and late night events.

The promulgation of the bylaw according to Mr James Gunu would be among the essential decrees to be effected when the new assembly comes into session.

“We are considering enacting a bye-law to ensure that children do not spending too much time deep into the night during funerals and wake keepings. So if the new assembly comes into force, we are going to ensure that pupils are prevented from attending such programs deep into the night.” he said.

The District Chief Executive disclosed this on the sideline of presentation of books and stationery by the 2013 first runner up of Tv3’s Ghana Most Beautiful Pageantry Miss Juliet Bubune Titiati to Pupils of Ave Dakpa RC Primary School.
