Making the call he said the struggle and sacrifice of these courageous sons and daughters such as Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who led Ghana to gain independence in 1957 have left indelible impression in world history.

Honorable Bukari Zakari Anaba made this call during the District version of Ghana’s 54^th Independence Day Celebration held at Bechem, under the theme “Discipline and Hard Working, Essential Pre- Requisite of a Better Ghana”. The District Chief Executive noted that the Government is committed in investing in people, improving educational infrastructure and eradicating schools under trees, providing quality teachers in a highly improved school system and making Ghana a better place for the citizenry. He said the government is determined to turn round the economy and bring back smiles on the faces of Ghanaians.

Hon Bukari Zakari Anaba disclosed that the nation is undeniably confronted with multitude of both social and economic effects and problems which are as a result of laziness and indiscipline. This he said if not swiftly and consistently addressed could mar our collective desires and aspiration to achieve an enlightened society and enhance living standards of the people. He urged the people to pool all human and material resources together and work tirelessly to lift the country from poverty, ignorance, disease, deprivation and lawlessness.

The District Chief Executive assured teachers that the government and the Minister of Education are working hard to resolve all discrepancies that relate to the implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy. He therefore advised the teachers to be an epitome of hard work, discipline, sincerity and role models to their students and society as a whole. Honorable Bukari Zakari Anaba entreated the people to be committed to work, be punctual and avoid absenteeism.

The ceremony though was colourful did not attract the number

of school children as has

been in the previous years, since some teachers boycotted the event due to their dissatisfaction with

the government’s implementation of the Single Spine Salary Structure to teachers. The

occasion saw school children, voluntary organizations and other identifiable groups taking part in the anniversary

parade. Prizes were awarded to schools which excelled in

the march past whilst each school and organization which

participated in the event received a certificate.
