Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Old Mangoase and Asafohene of Akuapem Lartey, Nana Osiabour Kofi Adu II has urged the government, through the Chieftaincy Ministry, to help protect Ghanaian culture and heritage.<\/b><\/p>\n

He has said that it is incumbent on the traditional authorities to help protect Ghana\u2019s heritage as the youth are exposed to foreign culture through social media and television programmes.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the recent debate and controversies over the passage of Ghanaian Sexual and Human Values Bill, is a clear indication of how Ghana is losing the battle against the advent of foreign doctrines in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Osiabour Kofi Adu, speaking in an interview during activities to mark this year\u2019s Easter festivities at old Mangoase was livid at traditional authorities for allowing foreign culture to prevail in Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new modern trend where children are exposed to foreign culture through social media and television programmes, it is incumbent on us as chiefs to spearhead efforts to protect what we inherited from the forefathers\u201d.<\/p>\n

We must recognize the importance of safeguarding our cultural practices by teaching the children our languages and customs not only for the intrinsic value, but also for the role in fostering unity and cultural cohesion, he reiterated.<\/p>\n

Nana on the sidelines urged political players and stakeholders to guarantee fair competition for political players before the elections on December 7.<\/p>\n

He likewise challenged politicians to run their campaigns free of insults, defamation, and conceit as well as respecting the views and decisions of the electorates since all Ghanaians cannot belong to one political party.<\/p>\n
