Ghana
National Association of Teachers Ladies Society (GNATLAS) has organised a peace
walk through the principal streets of Jasikan to raise awareness for the
electorates and stakeholders to preserve the peace in the area and in the
country, before during and after the elections.
They were
accompanied by some pupils from some basic schools at Jasikan, who held
placards with inscriptions urging people to be peaceful and guard the peace in
the country.
Madam Ruth
Matogah, Jasikan District GNATLAS Coordinator said the programme was to
sensitise people to keep the peace and not allow elections to divide us.
The essence
of the peace walk was to re-echo the message that we are people and must keep
the peace.
Mr. Christian
Gbeve, Jasikan District GNAT Sectary, expressed the view since Ghanaians cannot
underestimate the outcome of elections because of the high stakes in it, there
was the need intensify peace campaign to maintain the peace.
As a result
of this conviction, GNAT has sponsored the GNATLAS peace walk through all the
six local areas under GNAT, including East and West Buem, Worowora, Kwamekrom,
Abotoase and Nkonya locals, in the Biakoye District.
In a related
development, employees of the National Youth Employment programme also took to
the street amidst brass band music to preach the essence for peace, stressing
the point that we are one people.
Similarly the
Police Wives Association at Jasikan were joined by their colleagues from Hohoe,
Kadjebi and Worowora to stage a two hour peace walk through the streets of
Jasikan.
This was to
drive home the urgent need to preserve the peace we have in the country no
matter the outcome of the elections.
