Ghanaians have been advised to consider supporting their relations at home to register with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Nana Adu Effrim X, Chief of Apam in the Gomoa District of the Central Region made the call when members of the Apam Korye Kuw resident in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region accompanied Nana Arkorful Owese I Mfantsemanhene of Kumasi to pay a courtesy call on him. Nana Effrim noted that only a handful of the resident had registered because of poverty and called on non-residents to give special attention to mothers with four or more children under 18 years. Apaahene also called on the well to do to extend assistance to bright but needy school pupils in the area. He said a survey had revealed that 60 per cent of school pupils in the Apam town were not from the area adding that despite the capitation grant, school feed programme, free bus service for school children and others interventions a greater number of children of school going age had not been enrolled. Nana Effrim said parents of such pupils would be arrested and prosecuted. The Mfantsemanhene assured the Apaahene that his appeal would be communicated to his subjects in Kumasi. Nana Arkoful Owese said special punitive measures have been put in place in Kumasi to ensure that all children of school going age were in the classroom. He spoke of plans to establish an education endowment fund, adding that, the Central Region students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have offered to do voluntary teaching during holidays in the Gomoa district as their contribution to help raise the fallen standard of education in the District.
