Mrs Christina Omane-Acheamfuor, wife of a retired Methodist Bishop, has suggested psychological assessment of commercial drivers who apply for driving license and those found to have low value for human lives refused the license.
     
She said often people who feel that society had not been fair to them are likely to have low value for lives of passengers when they become commercial drivers and no amount of warnings and threats could change them to drive carefully to protect human lives.
    
Mrs Omane-Acheamfuor was speaking at the opening of the Eighth Biennial National Conference of the Association of Anglican Church Clergy Wives at Bunso.
        
She appealed to the clergy wives to ensure that part of the activities of the church is devoted towards solving challenges facing women and that the church and the society must benefit from their talents.
         
Mr Omane-Acheamfuor said despite the increasing number of media houses in the country, the society still remained ignorant and people live in fear.
   
She appealed to the clergy wives to take up the responsibility of increasing the knowledge base of women who attend church for them to improve upon their lifestyles and contribute more to the development of the church and the country.

The Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, said the appointment of women to prominent positions was an indication of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s recognition of women as key stakeholders in the achievement of the party’s vision of a better Ghana.
    
 He appealed to Christian women to muster courage and rise up against the challenges of the world and be focused in whatever they do to serve as shining examples for the younger generation.
      
He expressed regret that some women have shirked their responsibilities as mothers and embraced certain lifestyles which have denied their children motherly love and care and has contributed to the waywardness of their children.
   
Mr Ofosu-Ampofo appealed to women to place a high premium on the upbringing of their children so that they could grow up with a sense of responsibility and vision.
   
He called on the church to incorporate pragmatic activities in their programmes to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS virus and also provide care and support for those affected by the virus.
    
The Presiding Bishop of the Joint Anglican Diocesan Council of Ghana (JADC), Rt Rev. Daniel S. A. Allotey, advised the clergy wives to aspire to be agents of peace and stability in their homes, their communities and work places.
    
The Anglican Bishop of the Koforidua Diocese, Rt. Rev. Francis Benjamin Quashie, called on members of the association to work hard to ensure the progress and development of the association.
