Nkoranza (B/A) Sept. 28, GNA – Nana Yaa Dudaa Kani, Queen Mother of Nkoranza Traditional Area, has called on the traditional authorities to live above reproach since they are role models in their communities. Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at her palace at Nkoranza, she expressed concern about the activities of some questionable characters, who parade themselves as members of royal families and engage in social vices. “Since kingmakers are the eyes of the people, they need to appear decent in all spheres of life; the way they talk in public, their mode of dressing and even how they eat or drink. “In effect their social lives must show that they belong to disciplined homes”, she said.
Nana Dudaa stressed the need for heads of royal families to educate the youth on the history and traditional norms so that they would grow to become responsible citizens. She said people with royal blood must also embrace secular education so that they could become knowledgeable and experienced chiefs and queen mothers in future. The queen mother advised the youth against pre-marital sex, disrespectfulness to people in authority and lack of interest in education. Nana Dudaa appealed to religious leaders to spearhead the campaign against indecent dressing, moral decadence and other social vices among the youth.
