The Member of Parliament for Akim Oda, Alexander Akwesi Acquah has condemned in no uncertain term the recent act of vandalism and theft at the St. Andrews Basic School in the Akim Oda Constituency, where unidentified individuals maliciously removed roofing sheets and stole desks meant for our school children.
The MP described the act as not only a direct attack on the collective efforts to improve education in the constituency, but also a betrayal of the values they uphold as a community that cherishes learning, responsibility, and progress.
“It is unacceptable that some individuals would choose to sabotage the future of our children, who deserve safe and conducive environments for their studies”.
Mr. Akwesi Acquah in a press release dated May 16, 2025, however assured the affected school, teachers, parents, and pupils that the matter is being seriously pursued to bring the perpetrators to book. “I am in close contact with the Ghana Police Service, and I have requested an immediate and thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice. We will not tolerate criminal behaviour that undermines our development”.
Meanwhile, he has assured the people that he is working with the Municipal Assembly and relevant stakeholders to mobilize resources to restore the affected infrastructure as quickly as possible to ensure that teaching and learning are not disrupted for longer than necessary.
He also charged all and sundry to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the police. “Let us continue to protect our public facilities and support one another in building a better future for our children”,
He added that individuals with the intentions of destroying the progress they have made in building the future they aspire would be met with the full force of the law.
