The Government have been urged to re-examine the running of orphanages in the country.

A London-based Lay Preacher of the Saint Mark's Methodist Church in North London, Madam Elizabeth Ama Techie- Benson made the call when she presented items worth 15 million cedis to the children of the Asante-Mampong Babies Home.

The items included 10 baby's cots, 10 mattresses, eight bedspreads, large quantity of clothing, napkins, a gas cooker with cylinder.

Madam Techie-Benson, who described the situation at the Home as "awful", blamed the past government for not doing much to improve the lot of orphans in the country especially the Mampong Home.

Most orphans have been known to possess great potentials and must be assisted to realise these. She reminded the Anglican Diocese of Kumasi and the government of their obligation to ensure the sustenance of the objective for which the Anglican Sisters from England established the orphanage some decades ago.

Rev Daniel Okyere Korankye of the Mampong Saint Micheal Anglican Church, who received the items, thanked Madam Techie-Benson for her kind gesture.
