Accra, July 1, GNA- President John Agyekum Kufuor on Tuesday urged Ghanaians to be mindful of their utterances, especially political utterances as well as their social and cultural conduct in order not to give cause for tension and instability in the society.
“I call on all citizens, including our media practitioners, party functionaries, social commentators, chiefs and religious leaders to be mindful of their utterances, especially political utterances, as well as their social and cultural conduct so as not to give cause for tension and instability in the society”.
President Kufuor was speaking at a Republic Day Luncheon for Senior Citizens at the Banquet Hall in Accra.
It was organised by the National Celebrations Planning Committee (NCPC) as part of activities marking the 43rd anniversary celebrations of Republic Day.
President Kufuor said it was important that all Ghanaians enjoy peace in the society especially the Senior Citizens who should be assured of peaceful and harmonious retirement life.
“Food, clothing, shelter and good health are very important but these alone would not automatically grant any of us let alone our Senior Citizens the needed peace. The threat of looming danger creates emotional tension, which undermines national peace and security”, he said.
