Volta Caucus Discharges Displeasure About Ewe Distorted History Text Book

The Volta Caucus in Parliament has discharged its displeasure over recently published textbooks that contained derogatory content against the Ewe people of the Volta Region.

Member of Parliament for Akatsi North, Peter Nortsu-Kotoe, presenting a statement on the floor of parliament on behalf of the Caucus said, the published textbooks for use in schools which portray the Ewe people in very bad light must be withdrawn and burnt.

The said book is by Badu Nkansah Publications, Textbook 3, a reference is made to the erroneous impression that the Ewes vote for their chiefs to be selected.

He said the Ewes see this as a distortion of their tradition, history and feel slighted by the publishers of the book.

“The book further alleges the ethnic group as a voodoo worshipping people. In a world of development where science and technology have become the order of the day, a publisher in his figment of imagination thinks that it is juju that makes a team work,” he lamented.

Hon. Nostu-Kotoe added that the history of Ghana cannot be said to be complete without the people of Volta Region.
