Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin is pushing for a legislation that would halt the salaries of parents who have abandoned their children and neglected their duties as parents.
He suggested that the state should utilize the frozen salaries to fund the education and welfare of their dependents.
Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin suggests that if the government can block the salaries of these parents, it will encourage better parenting and decrease the issue of streetism, ultimately protecting the vulnerable individuals involved.
Addressing the crowd at the 2024 Ohum Kan Festival durbar in Kyebi, Okyenhene raised concerns about parents who abandon their children post-birth.
“You give birth in your community and abscond to a different town to work without providing for your children. That is irresponsible. The state should be able to freeze your salary or whatever you earn, and use it to take care of the child. You will work but your salary will go to the children you have deserted”, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin stressed.
Okyenhene urged parents to take responsibility for their children’s well-being and safety to foster a secure and harmonious community.
He further stated that if neglected, children abandoned on the streets could come back to cause trouble for the upper class.

He mentioned an incident in Kyebi where an employee stole food intended for the students. He stated that those individuals should be publicly identified and criticized.
“The state is struggling to ensure that every Ghanaian child gets some basic education for free. You steal food items meant for these innocent children and create shortage of food in the schools then you have the gust to video food being served in the school and make mockery of its quality to the world. Have you forgotten you stole the stuff ? You don’t have shame ?” Osagyefuo stressed.
He urged Ghanaians to revive their sense of patriotism and affection for their country.
