Commercial drivers of Ketan and Prisons a suburb of Sekondi Takoradi Municipal Assembly have rendered unqualified apologies to the management of Ahantaman Girls Senior High School over misunderstand concerning stickers and tags which the drivers were suppose to buy as a form of identification to enhance security on campus. A sticker costed a driver 20 Ghana Cedis.
Speaking on Adzekye Mu Nsem this morning on Spice 91.9, Stephen Quaicoe, one of the leaders of the drivers at Kentan said that there was a meeting between the drivers and the school to propose the use of stickers and tags as a form of identification and it was not something that was impose on them.
He further explained that during the meeting, the Headmistress of Ahantaman Girls Senior High School, Ernestina Kamkam even suggested to the drivers to come up with their own identification strategy that will be comfortable to them but the drivers rather proposed for the school to produce stickers and tags for them to buy.
This makes the development very sad for some drivers to paint a different picture on radio contrary to the agreement that ensued between the school and leadership of the drivers.
The drivers used the opportunity to appreciate the headmistress for granting them audience when the incident happened and rendered unqualified apologies to the authorities.
”We are very sorry for what has happened and we apologise to the headmistress of the school. This was something we had even suggested to the school that we were willing to pay, the headmistress even told us initially to come up with our own identification strategy but we told the managment to rather produce it for us so I am suprise that one of us could go on radio and peddle such allegations. We are very sad by this development because the headmistress welcomed us so well. We really apologise for what has happened, Stephen Quaicoe said.
The drivers also went ahead to cautioned their fellow drivers from peddling such falsehood which could derail the existing relationship between the school’s managment and them.
Meanwhile, the Western Regional Director of Education, has cautioned all second cycle institutions to refrain from allowing commercial vehicles on their school premises since it against the laws of Ghana Education Service.
Andrew Turkson, and Kingsfoward Afadzie who are drivers and were panelists on the program also used the opportunity to appeal to city authorities to expedite process towards rehabilitating deplorable roads in the metropolis which seem to affecting their work especially during the rainy season.
