New Edubiase (Ash), AUG 1, GNA – Mr Dominic Alfred Kwaku Yeboah, Adansi East District Chief Executive, has advised people who have formed AIDS Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) for selfish and personal interests to dissolve them before they were found out.
Speaking at a two-day workshop on HIV/AIDS for peer educators organised for the Muslim Youth Foundation (MYF), a CBO based at New Edubiase, he said some people were under the impression that money for the HIV/AIDS programmes was for free.
He said organisations that had collected money for the HIV/AIDS campaign would be audited and if found to have misappropriated the money they would be dealt with at the courts.
Mr Iddrisu Muhammad, Chairman of the Foundation, said the group was formed to support the government’s policies on education, particularly for Muslims as well as to educate the people on other government policies and to instil the spirit of voluntarism in the Muslim communities.
He commended the government for supporting the Foundation and pledged that money given to it would be used judiciously.
