Right Reverend Joseph Afrifa-Agyekum, Catholic Bishop of Koforidua, has called on Christians to build strong families�to help hold the society together and care for each other.
���� He made the call at the commissioning of a Ghc800.000 Parish Hall for the St. Bakhita Catholic Church at Koforidua.
�����The multi-purpose hall was started in 2010 and is expected to be used to generate revenue for the church.
������Rev.�Afrifa-Agyekum said Christians these days did not hold themselves together and as such the slightest�challenge led to families breaking up.

����� Rev. Afrifa-Agyekum advised�Christians�to desist from corruption, hatred for one another, lesbian and gay marriages and other social vices to build a future�of hope�for the country.
�������He advised the church to develop the maintenance culture to help keep the facility for a long time.
�������Dr Kwaku Acheampong, Municipal Chief Executive of the New Juaben Municipal Assembly, called on stakeholders in education to play their role to ensure quality education to the youth.
������He said per the new Local Government Regulations, all houses without toilet would be mandated to build one within six months.
������Dr Acheampong advised the public to get work permit from the assembly before embarking on any project in their communities to ensure proper planning and management of resources in the municipality.
������He called on people to voluntarily pay taxes for the assemblies and government to raise revenue to�develop�the country.�
