General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah has disclosed the intention of her party to carry out an intensive investigation to fish out the people behind the publication of the controversial history textbooks for primary schools.
Describing the history textbooks as the mischief of some people to play politics and to further disintegrate the existing cohesion the country has enjoyed from the days of former President Kwame Nkrumah, Nana Yaa Jantuah asserted that the distorted history textbooks are still available in bookshops except that they are out of stock.
“We have made our mind to investigate this issue and we have gone far with our investigation and we intend to intensify the investigation to get to the bottom of the issue,” she disclosed.

Safe Connections opened one of the first texting hotlines in early March for people experiencing domestic abuse.
St. Louisans experiencing domestic abuse can now text a local hotline for help.
The new text line is part of a push by the nonprofit Safe Connections to make services more accessible to victims of abuse during the coronavirus pandemic.
When the pandemic first hit, calls to Safe Connections’ crisis hotline decreased 23% but not because domestic abuse stopped, said Jaszmine Parks, who manages the hotline. The drop was most likely because people were ordered to stay home and had less time apart from their abusers, Parks said.

Texas Good Samaritans are out in full force during the state’s deep freeze, helping out their fellow Texans in need.
One such Good Samaritan named Raymond Garcia lost power at his home and decided to use his time to help fix residents’ broken water pipes free-of-charge.
Garcia was inspired by his mother, who died of the coronavirus last week, to give back to his community.
“My mom always taught me, if you help and you give to people, God will always bless you,” he told KTRK. “And you know what, I’ve been blessed.”
Another Good Samaritan named Max Bozeman II, of Houston, knew the importance of asking for help in tough times as he received a cancer diagnosis during the pandemic.
