Bono East Minister directs MCE to stop hotel project near Konkrompe SHS
A private developer's decision to put up a hotel facility adjacent to the New Konkrompe Senior High School has sparked serious concerns among school authorities, who fear it poses a direct risk to students, particularly the girls.
The Bono East Regional Minister, Francis Owusu Antwi, has instructed the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) to halt a hotel development project situated near the New Konkrompe Senior High School. The concern stems from the Assistant Headmistress, Catherine Antwiwaa, who voiced her apprehension during a visit by the Minister. She emphasized the potential risk the hotel poses to the students, especially the female pupils.
The Assistant Headmistress directly informed the Minister about her worries, urging urgent action to prevent the developer from completing the project. She stressed the negative impact the hotel's proximity could have on the school's environment, particularly regarding the vulnerability of its students. Her remarks highlight the broader anxiety among educators regarding the integration of commercial establishments on school grounds, which they argue can create an unsafe and exploitative atmosphere for vulnerable students.
