A Presbyter of Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Koforidua Ada in the New Juaben South Municipality of the Eastern Region, Mrs Cynthia Anim has admonished parents and guardians to instill Godliness in their children in order to raise a generation that would be advocates of Jesus Christ.
According to her, guardians had the responsibility to train all children be they biological or adopted in a Godly way to overcome the challenges of armed robbery, drug addiction, and teenage pregnancy which has been on the ascendancy in most societies today.
Mrs. Anim was speaking at the commemoration of the Victory Congregation’s Parents Day Celebration on the theme “100 years of children service and beyond” last Sunday.
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana, nationwide, celebrates Parents Day annually to appreciate parents for their love and care for their children and also to remind them of their responsibilities.
Quoting Proverbs 19:18, Mrs. Anim underscored the need impart biblical knowledge to children at their younger age while training them on how to be socially responsible through hard work.
She indicated that children were a blessing from God therefore, parents should show love and care, pray for them always and be watchful of the friends they mingled with in order not to be influenced by bad company.
Mrs. Anim who is also the Headmistress of Nkwatia Presbyterian Senior High School at Nkawkaw further encouraged all parents to take a keen interest in the education of their children, which she described as the best investment.
“Even after completing Senior High School, there are other opportunities readily available such as the Students Loan Trust fund, GETfund scholarship that can be accessed by all students to be able to further their tertiary education”, she added.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
