KOSA also officially invited the Honorary Consul as a special guest to the anniversary event.
The Vice President of the Association, Tsitsia Arku congratulated Tsitsia Rois not only on his appointment as the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Ghana but also for making KPASEC, KOSA, people of the Volta Region, and Ghanaians proud by achieving such a great feat.
General Secretary of KOSA, Tsitsia Buoh, on his part, stressed the need for the old students to show greater interest in the development of their Alma Mater. According to him, KPASEC had a powerful impact on several past students, adding that KOSA should make the old school better than it was during their time.

He described the visit by KOSA to the Consulate as heartwarming. He pledged his allegiance and support not only to all activities of KOSA but also to all efforts towards making KPASEC a great institution of learning.
Mr. Rois said the anticipated 70th-anniversary celebration should serve as a wake-up event to plan a successful Silver Jubilee (75 years) celebration of Kpando SHS in 2028.
The diplomat accepted the KOSA invitation and assured them that he would grace the occasion with his wife, H.E. Mrs. Gifty Etsa Rois, whom he disclosed is also a proud KOSA member.
The Honorary Consul used the opportunity to share with the executives the available scholarship and business opportunities from Indonesia and urged the KOSA fraternity and indeed all Ghanaians to take advantage of these chances to improve their lot in business and education.
