Nana Akosua Ameahene III, the Omanhemaa of Berekum Traditional Council, has expressed her dismay over the growing trend of youth and children disrespecting leaders, including the President, Chiefs, and Queens in their communities.

She considers it sad and disheartening to witness such behavior, emphasizing that insults should never be part of the norms and values of society.

According to Nanahemaa, if individuals are dissatisfied with a politician’s performance after voting them into office, it is more appropriate to vote them out during the next election rather than resorting to insults.

She believes that insults only contribute to the deterioration of respectful discourse and undermine the values that should guide interactions within the community.

She also expressed concern about the negative impact of politics on development, highlighting how the powers of traditional leaders have been eroded, leading to a loss of respect among the youth.

Nana Akosua Ameahene III stressed the importance of reclaiming and reinforcing the authority of traditional leaders to promote respect and discipline among the younger generation.

Addressing another pressing issue, she raised the alarm about unregistered vehicles that are frequently seen driving recklessly in various parts of Berekum.

This situation has made it challenging to trace these vehicles and hold their owners accountable. In light of this, she called upon the government, Ghana Police, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Commander Dampare, to take decisive action to address the presence of these unregistered vehicles.

By tackling this problem and reducing the prevalence of such vehicles, the aim is to curb criminal activities and enhance the safety and security of Berekum and its surrounding areas.

She hopes that her concerns will be heard and that appropriate measures will be taken to address these challenges effectively.
