Kumasi Academy (KUMACA) Old Students Association of USA has constructed an ultra-modern toilet facility for the school at Asokore Mampong in Kumasi.
Speaking on behalf of the president of the association, Mr. Kwame Boafo, communications director of the association said, the toilet facility was part of the old students’ commitment towards addressing the sanitation problem at the school.
“I am hopeful that this project will go a long way to improve sanitation and add value to your educational lives in this reputable school,” he told the school, adding that, “education is a mutual responsibility and the government alone can’t carry it out, so we’ll do our best to help the school achieve its glories.”
Inset: Students accessing the facility
He said: “We all have a role to play and presenting this project to the school is the right thing to do, so I am urging all the old students in this school to come together to improve the standard of teaching and learning in this school.”
The facility includes 12 toilet cubicles, three wall-mount flush-valve urinals and six hand wash sinks with cabinet.
Mr. Boafo thanked members of the association whose contribution made it possible for the project to be undertaken, particularly Dr. Kwame Bawuah Edusei, an old student and former Ghana’s ambassador to the USA “who was our highest contributor”, calling on members to contribute more towards other projects that were yet to be executed.
The headmaster, Mr. Samuel Gato commended the association for the kind gesture and promised to take good care of the project.
“We are pleading with the government to assist the school with furniture although we have written to the Free SHS Secretariat and the Ghana Education Service, they are yet to come to the rescue of the school.
“Our internal roads are really in a bad state and we are, again, calling on the government to fix our roads for us,” he added.
Over 20 structures built within the 50-metre buffer zone of the Kpeshie Lagoon at the Laboma Beach Resort in the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality were on Sunday demolished by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC).
Buildings such as single-unit semi-detached under construction and completed chalets at the resort were pulled down while portions of a newly constructed perimeter wall were also demolished. Read More

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
