The Member of Parliament for Wa Central Constituency,  Dr. Rashid Hassan Pelpuo has Condemned a development seeking to undermine the Waala Traditional Area by the Ministry of Education.

The Member of Parliament in a post explained that history was being twisted to eliminate the Waala Traditional area from the Ghanaian history.

“See this book! It’s supposed to be a textbook of history of Ghana and supposed to be studied by all Ghanaians. It has captured Ghanaian ethnic groups and forgot that there is an ethnic group of the Wala people. Can this piece of work represent the core concept of the history of Ghana? Of course no one within the Wala ethnic group will accept this wasted effort at writing a textbook!
I called the Minister of Education, Hon Yaw Edutwum to discuss the anger of our people about the deliberate failure and abuse of academic work. He immediately agreed with me and has started working on it!
This uninformed collection of written matter cannot represent our collective history and will never be accepted as a text book on history of Ghana. The least we can accept is TO IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAW THAT BOOK FROM THE SHELVE HOSTING ACADEMIC WORKS AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN NOW !!
Thanks to the Minister for prompt response. Looking forward to hearing from him soonest!!!”
