The Ejisu-Juaben District Chief Executive, Mr Yaw Ahenkora Afrifa, has called on religious leaders to help to protect the country's cultural heritage.
He said the time had come for Christian, Islamic and traditional religious leaders to start educating their members on the need to practice and preserve the good aspects of the culture.
Mr Afrifa said this at the inter-district primary schools cultural festival held at Ejisu at the weekend.
