A former Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency, Mr Daniel Kosi Ashiamah has pleaded with authorities handling the Saboba tragedy to exercise restraint with the teacher in question before charging him.
Although he noted that it is painful to lose a child, he was of the view that without teachers, the nation will become worse than expected, hence the plea.
Nine pupils of the of Lwanga R/C JHS in the Saboba District of the Northern region reportedly died after a boat carrying them capsized.
The boat which capsized was crossing a river at Saboba in the Northern Region.
The deceased were among some 31 students crossing from Dutuin after helping their headteacher work on his farmland.
The embattled headteacher, Mr Jashain Emmanuel, who has been charged with manslaughter, has been remanded to prison custody.
