The Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Cezer Kale, says the greatest threat to the development of the youth and the nation as a whole is a society�s craze for wealth and its recognition for the wealthy, regardless of the source of their wealth.
He said society�s high respect, honour glory and recognition for the wealthy without questioning the source of their wealth, had greatly contributed to the youth�s indulgence in cyber-fraud, armed robbery and prostitution so that they could make money and be respected by society.�These vices,� Mr Kale said, �should not be allowed to gain grounds,� and called for what he termed �a reorientation of our societal values.�
Mr Kale was addressing the 60th anniversary celebration of the Catholic Youth Organisation (CYO). Mr Kale said �it is honourable and dignifying for one to have a good image and reputation, be righteous honest and faithful and uphold national virtues.�He said �we must as a matter of urgency re-visit and re-embrace virtues like hard work and discipline and strive for good reputation which are needed for our motherland to progress.
