We believe that those appeals have helped to tone down the tension in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGhana has been a very peaceful country, and we believe that we have been the envy of all our neighbours and we have existed peacefully among ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the Council in its efforts to resolve the impasse had already met with the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of the School, Old Girls Association of the School and the Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He informed the Chief Imam that the Council in interactions with the Ministry of Education, had come to the consensus that within the next two weeks, there should be a memorandum of understanding (MoU) governing the all-mission schools and all public schools in the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the document also specified clearly what were the rights, the privileges, and also the responsibilities of every individual who goes to those schools.\u201cAnd we want this document to be documented and signed by all parties who agree to it; that at the end of the day, once you take that document, everybody knows what can be done and what cannot be done,\u201d the Chairman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that if this is pursued to its logical conclusion, this matter would come to an end, that Ghana would not see this again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the document would also incorporate some of the issues that the Peace Council recommended in 2015 when the wearing of hijab&nbsp; came up;&nbsp; as some recommendations that were made, were not implemented to its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are bringing those recommendations into this new document, so that at the end of the day, everybody in this country would be satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said when the draft document is ready, it would be brought back to all stakeholders to look at it; adding that this would ensure that everyone is satisfied with it before they sign it.He said the document would outline what can be done, and what cannot be done.Rev Dr. Adu-Gyamfi noted that some people were using the issue as an opportunity to divide the nation further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He thus appealed to Ghanaians to remain calm; saying \u201clet\u2019s stay together as one people with one destiny\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On his part, Dr. Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu said God had been gracious to Ghanaians by giving them peace, and that adherents of various faiths were able to live in peace and harmony in the country; saying that Ghanaians must preserve the peace of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citing the Holy Qoran, the National Chief Imam advised Ghanaians to always communicate with each other in a civil manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maulvi Mohammed Bin Salih, who doubles as the Ameer and Missionary-in-Charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission of Ghana, urged Muslims in the country to see themselves as an embodiment of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gna.org.gh\/1.20749678\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.gna.org.gh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reverend Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, the Chairman of the National Peace Council, on Monday, May 17, 2021, conferred with Dr. Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, the National Chief Imam in Accra on the Wesley Girls\u2019 Senior High School impasse with Muslim students in the school.This was to enable the Council to brief the Chief Imam on its [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
