The former President of Central Regional House of Chief, who is the Paramount Chief of Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Council, Obrempong Nyanful Krampah XI has urged the State Council to go and preach about teenage pregnancy in their catchment area.

According to the Paramount Chief of Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Council, he disclosed that the rate at which teenage pregnancy is at rise is very disheartening.

This statement he made was at the State Council meeting held on Friday November 26, 2021.

Speaking on the theme: 'Progress of the children in our schools and teenage pregnancy' said, "the DCE has reported the rise in teenage pregnancy among the students. This is disheartening. Now, Human Rights Activists will not even allow Nananom to implement certain customary rules which could have punished every student or parent who does not allow their wards to sleep at certain times." 

"It was reported to Nananom by the DCE of Gomoa Central that, the parents are not helping the children at all in the schools. The Assemblies and the schools are doing their best but the parents are not forcing their wards to go to school. The DCE cited several examples where he had organized extra classes for some residents only to see one quarter of the students who supposed to come in the classroom."

"We should take education of our children very serious. Now, our education system does not even allowed to punish the students like our time. But it is the responsibility of we, the parents to make sure our wards go to school and become somebody in the near future.

"We must all come together as parents to device ways to end this menace," Omanhen added.

He hence pleaded and urged the State Council to go ye and preach about the impact the menace which is at its peak is going to affect the traditional area and Ghana at large.
