  "account": "Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, Member of Parliament for La Dade-Kotopon, has called for Ga language programmes in schools and on radio stations. She implored parents to teach their children the Ga language, emphasizing its significance to the community's heritage and identity. At the 10th anniversary celebration of Latenu Radio, the MP urged families to incorporate Ga into children's daily lives. Sowah also suggested Latenu Radio introduce educational programmes for children in the Ga language, covering the language's history and culture. She urged the schools within the Greater Accra region to organize Ga language lessons, focusing on teaching the alphabet, vowels, writing, pronunciation, and ensuring the language does not fade away. By doing so, Sowah believes the community's stories, traditions, and knowledge will be passed on to future generations. She appealed to both the Ga people and Latenu Radio to organize programmes for children, as they are crucial in nurturing a connection to roots and sustaining the language for growth.",
