Napo in shades consoling the family members of the deceased teacher.
DR. MATTHEW Opoku Prempeh aka ‘Napo’, the Education Minister, took time out of his busy schedule, to visit the family of the killed teacher at Asiakwa, in the Eastern Region, on Monday.
Mr. George Somuah Bosompem, who was a teacher at Salvation Army Basic School, in Asiakwa, was gruesomely murdered by some young boys in the hitherto peaceful community, recently.
Napo, who was sad about the disheartening incident, stormed Asiakwa to commiserate with the bereaved family. He was accompanied by the Director General of the GES, Prof. Opoku Amankwa.

The Minister of Education condemned the decision of the youngsters to kill the innocent teacher, stressing that the perpetrators of the heinous crime would be dealt with by the laws of the state.
“My ministry wil make sure that the security agencies would be given the full support so that anyone that has a hand in the killing of the innocent teacher will be made to face the law”, he assured.
Amid sobs, Napo stated that his ministry, the Eastern Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) and the various stakeholders, are determined to seek justice for the slain teacher, who was wrongly killed.
The Education Minister also assured that his ministry and the GES would offer the needed support to the bereaved family so that the late George Somuah Bosompem would be given a befitting burial.
Napo also appealed to the teachers of the Salvation Army Basic School at Asiakwa to quickly return to class and work, assuring them that nobody would harm them for educating the youth.
He also admonished teachers, especially, those that are fond of visiting the social media to peddle falsehood about the noble teaching profession, to desist from doing so, since their action doesn’t help anybody.
Family
The bereaved family, in unison, commended Napo for taking time out of his tight schedule in Accra to visit and commiserate with them, pointing out that his historic visit clearly shows that he is a caring minister.
