Obuasi SHTS abuse allegations: Otiko Djaba urges Vice-President to visit alleged victims
Former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisah Djaba, has called on Vice-President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to visit the alleged victims of sexual abuse at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), saying that a call for the law to take its course is not enough to address their immediate needs.
Former Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister Otiko Afisah Djaba has urged Vice-President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to personally visit the students allegedly sexually abused at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), stating that merely relying on the law to take its course is insufficient to address their immediate needs.
She criticized the handling of the allegations, arguing that earlier intervention could have prevented further harm and allowed the situation to be contained. Djaba emphasized that the country's first female Vice-President has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership on matters affecting women and children, and criticised President John Mahama's response to the situation, urging him to address the issue with urgency and demonstrate that protecting children takes precedence over political considerations.
