Executive Secretary of Ghana Publishers Association (GPA), Mr. Klu Benjamin has revealed that, they are going to sanction Badu Nkansah Publications for publishing misinformation in their text book.

 Ghanaians have condemned the publishing and sale of two main controversial history textbooks for primary schools in the country.

The books are History of Ghana for Basic 6 by Golden Publications which carries distasteful information about Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP, History of Ghana Textbook 3 by Badu Nkansah Publications which features “A song that shows the Ewes identity” and Golden English Basic 4 by Golden Publications which displays “Efo agrees to prepare juju for the players” on page 17.

The general public is outraged with the contents of the textbooks which have been described as offensive to Ewes.

Speaking to Nana Ampratwum on Silver fm Omanbapa morning show, Mr. Klu added that, they can only sanction Badu Nkansah Publications because he is a member of the Association.

According to him, he believes the textbooks were not approved by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA).

He noted that, they are going to implement the appropriate sanctions for them.

He revealed that, there are a lot of books in the market that have not been approved by NaCCA.

Speaking to the media, he said the NPP government cannot mobilise the 138 parliamentarians to vote for the passing of the levy because some are against the levy.

He added that, the Majority carries the vote and so they should mobilize their 138 MPs and vote on the levy but he thinks they are finding it difficult because even their own MPs are unwilling to vote for the passing of the levy.

I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour.
