The Kumasi Metropolitan Catholic Archdiocesan Youth Council is to undertake a peace walk to remind Ghanaians about the need to safeguard the unity, cohesion and security of the nation.

The Reverend Father Louis Cecilia Adu-Poku, the Youth Chaplain, said recent happenings should be a wake-up call to all to sit up, and that the peace of the country could not be taken for granted as everybody would have to share in the responsibility of helping to protect it.

The Rev. Father Adu-Poku told the GNA that hundreds of Catholic youth from 55 parishes and rectorates would participate in the event.

They would start off from the Saint Peters Basilica and walk through some selected principal streets of Kumasi, carrying messages of political and religious tolerance, social harmony and rejection of ethnocentrism.

They would end at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) botanical gardens, where prayers would be said for the nation and the successful conduct of the December polls.**
