Burn The CSE Documents – Akufo-Addo Told
Dr Samuel Onwona
A member of the Presbyterian Church, Dr Samuel Onwona, has urged President Akufo-Addo to burn all documents containing Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).
According to Dr. Onwona, since the president has said the CSE will not be allowed in schools, there is no need to be keeping documents that have the CSE in it.
“If you say it is not going to happen under your presidency, then show us the destruction of the manual, because it’s been produced, they have copies.”
Churches and other conservative groups in Ghana have been alarmed at the supposed introduction of CSE, believed to subtly condition pupils to explore LGBT lifestyles.
Both the Ghana Education Service and the Education Ministry have come out to deny the claim.

Investigate church members who offer huge tithes, offerings – GPCC Gen. Secretary
The General Secretary of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Rev. Emmanuel Teimah Barrigah, has urged Christian leaders to conduct background checks on church members who pay huge tithes and offerings as a way to fight corruption in the country.
