He took this action following several calls by authorities of the school on what they described as a death trap.  

Dr Kwakye Afriyie mentioned to newsmen that he was surprised that the said block has been used as a school up till now without taking into accounts the danger it posed on the innocent lives (pupils).

He said he will not sit down for the block to collapse for TV cameras to troop in and out of his office to ask him questions hence the closure.

It is worth noting that the aged block was constructed by some whites many years ago for the purpose of a museum in Wenchi and not to house school children.
Inside the facility is always dark and it even took us minutes before our focal lens (eyes) could adjust to see in the room at first entry a situation the MCE who is a senior medical practitioner described as dangerous on the kids vision.

He has promised the school that he will as soon as possible source for funding to start a new KG block for the kids which will have staff room, and other auxiliary facility's and also playing ground with recreational facilities attached adding that this will make both the kids and teachers to study under a happy and congenial atmosphere.

Meanwhile the Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Prosper Addai Poku has instructed the head teacher of the school to move the pupils to two vaccant JHS 3 classroom blocks temporarily.
