BE WORTHY EXAMPLES-BISHOP OSEI BONSU

-

President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Most Reverend Joseph Osei Bonsu has advised ministers of the gospel, particularly Catholic priests and monks, to lead the congregations with good examples in speech and conduct. 

They should also know that their work is a divine calling purposely to prepare their church members for the kingdom of God. 

Most Rev. Osei Bonsu gave the advice at the ordination of two Reverend Fathers as the first Ghanaians into the Congregation of Josephite of Munialdo or Saint Joseph, at Ejisu in the Ashanti region.

 They are Reverend Fathers Bernard Manu, a native of Asaamang in the Ashanti region and Richard Donkor from Krachi in the Volta region. 

Most Rev. Osei Bonsu, who is also the Bishop of the Konongo-Mampong Catholic Diocese, asked the priests to show submissiveness, respect and humility to both members and leadership of their respective congregations saying that those are the main reasons of their Godly calling. 

They must as well accept postings to any mission field to pursue the work of God. 

Most Rev. Osei Bonsu asked also the leadership and members of the church to cooperate and support the Reverend Ministers to succeed. 

Also, the leaders in particular, should correct the ministers whenever they go wrong without malice or ill motive. 

This is because as human beings, they can also err or commit mistakes.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
