Dr Rashid Pelpuo with some members at the durbar
Dr Rashid Pelpuo, Member of Parliament (MP) for the Wa Central Constituency, has appealed to parents not to neglect their duties of educating their children with particular emphasis on the education of the girl-child.
He said girls played an unalienable role in societal development and needed to be given the opportunity to fully develop their potential to contribute meaningfully to the development of their communities and the nation as a whole.
Dr Pelpuo made the appeal at Kpongu in the Wa Municipality at a community durbar organised by the Centre for the Promotion of Democratic Governance (CENPRODEG), a Non-Governmental Organisation, on the theme: "Promoting Rights and Empowering the Girl Child for a Brighter Tomorrow".
