DESIST FROM ACTS THAT WILL MAR THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY OF THE COUNTRY- NCCE

The Akyemansa District Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has on 18th May, 2023 engaged artisans at Akim Chia (Dressmakers, Hairdressers, Food vendors, etc.) on the theme: “30 Years of Consolidating Constitutional Democracy: Building National Cohesion through Civic Education and Participation in Local Governance”, as part of activities marking the Annual Constitution week celebration.

Chief Field Officers; Mr. Emmanuel Siaw Twum and Mr. Jerry Kojo Oppong took turns to remind the gathering of 30 years of uninterrupted constitutional order since the Fourth Republican Constitution was promulgated and yet serving as a living document notwithstanding the challenges that had bedeviled our democracy.

The Officers asserted that the only way that Ghanaians could unravel these challenges was by coming together under a common umbrella (National Cohesion) to think through the challenges and arrive at a conclusive consensus. Also, they reassured the gathering to live in peace and harmony with one another and to desist from acts that will mar the peace and tranquility of the country.

They further urged the gathering to fully participate in the upcoming District-Level Election as they have been doing during the general elections by turning out massively to exercise their franchise, as it is crucial for grassroots development and a good path for achieving true democracy as per Article 35(6) (d) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
