The Prof Jacob Kaimenyi-chaired Ameru Cultural Stakeholders Association (ACSA) has called for the introduction of African culture and heritage in the Competence-Based Education (CBE).

Speaking when the association hosted members of the London-headquartered Ateker International Development Organisation (AIDO) for a cultural visit and exchange in Meru, Prof Kaimenyi said the use of culture would be a powerful tool to promote positive values among school-going children as well as respect for authority.

The two organisations also held discussions with Meru Governor Isaac Mutuma before they visited cultural centres in the county.
