School denies district assembly use of hall

Half Assini (Western Region)10th June ?99

The authorities of the Half Assini Secondary School say they can no longer allow the Jomoro district assembly to use the school's assembly hall for its sittings.

This was contained in a letter signed by the headmaster, Mr Kingsley Fomiah Addai to the secretary to the assembly and copied to the Western regional director of education on Tuesday.

According to the authorities, the action is to ensure the neutrality of the school in the political wrangles in Half Assini.

"Of late the use of the assembly hall by the assembly seems to be creating problems for the school.

"To enable the institution to operate in a positive neutrality, I regret to inform you that the temporary use of its hall by the assembly for meetings has been repealed with effect from today", the letter stated.

When contacted, Mr Francis Amenlemah, presiding member said the assembly's meeting for a vote of no confidence would definitely take place tomorrow, but at a different venue.
