Good governance involves government and citizenry - NCCE

Agona Bobikuma (C/R), May 7, GNA - Ms Georgina Yeboah, Agona West Municipal Director of the National

Commission for Civic education (NCCE), has noted that good governance is a collaborative effort of government and

the governed. "It is therefore wrong for some citizens to sit on the fence and criticise government when things go wrong," she

said. Ms Yeboah was speaking at the 10th Constitution Week celebration at Agona Bobikuma near Agona Swedru in the

Central Region, which was on the theme: "Enhancing Constitutionalism through Effective Citizens Participation for

Good Governance." She said governance must not be equated to the elected people in Accra and their appointees alone, stressing that

every citizen has a role in the process. Mr Isaac Kweku Sam, Deputy Regional Director of NCCE called on government to make the constitution a subject to

be studied in school and made examinable by the West African Examination Council. He urged the media not to align themselves to political parties to enable them to play their role as the mouth piece

and watchdog of the society.
