It
is with pleasure that I write to formally draw the attention of the Office of
the President to a life threatening practice.
Your
Excellency, Mr President it is out of fear for our lives as residents of a
vicinity and passersby where students usually embark on dangerous driving for
pleasure.
This
specific area is the junction between West African International School (WAIS)
and the Independence Stadium. Students usually drive in a stylish manner
(U-turn, short curves and diving), thus putting the lives of pedestrians at
risk. Some times we have to run away for our safety.
A
few months ago it was some students of WAIS but this time around it is those
from Glory Baptist School.
Your
Excellency Sir, last year I walked into WAIS with a colleague and had dialogue
with the Principal there. She promised that the school rules regarding student
driving cars will be strictly applied.
However,
to my dismay, I saw a similar practice within the same school a few months ago.
Just last week I saw students from Glory Baptist School showing a similar behavior
at the junction between the Independence Stadium and WAIS.
There
are people who are ready to serve as witnesses if the police are willing to
conduct a thorough investigation. I have already recorded details of the
vehicles being used for the practice.
Your
Excellency Sir, I consider it appropriate to approach you because the Principal
of WAIS was engaged in dialogue, the Police Inspector General and the Minister
of Basic and Secondary Education were notified of this practice through this
medium(Newspaper) but the status co remains the same.
Your
Excellency Sir, while hopping that my request will be given due consideration,
I would like to assure you of my unflinching support in the course of national
development.
Thank
you,
Enusa
Colley,
Bakau
Mile 7.
