You can critique in good faith but sabotage and party colour criticism should be a thing of the past. The Rawlings days are long gone, learn to do the right thing, Pastor.

He is only human and must be told when he is wrong. If he was telling his congregation to be upright, at least about 600 corruptions a day will stop in Ghana.

Please let Mensa-Otabil aware that refusing, arguing to pay taxes on the profit he makes from his school is also corruption and so he should stop casting insnuations.

One other thing Mensa forgot or refused to mention is that, in London, provisions are made for folks not to urinate in public.
Public places have got restrooms to cater to the needs of the people.
Trash cans and receptacles are conveniently placed for use.
Much as we all hate this attitude, it is not only workable laws that are required but also, the availability of required services.
Even Rawlings, who was seen by his followers as the friend of the under-privileged, did not provide a lot of places of convenience for the public and poor in society.

So why can't these pastors preach for the government/country. He doesn't pay tax on his earnings. Why? That is why i always say it is not a matter of NDC/NPP that has brought hardship on Ghanaians but our own attitude. Yeah i strongly beleive some of the politicians are corrupt. Kwabena Agyeponn leading the demonstartion? Funny eh, can he tell everyone that his houses/cars were bought from his salary. Naaaaa, not possible. Those NPP MP's leading the demonstration whta have you done for your constituencies? Are they not in parliament? Not until we change our attitude Prez Putin cannot even solve Ghana's mess. Nobody seems to answer my question. Where did Prez K4 get money to build hotel wawa in his very first term i n office?

Mr Mensah-Otabil, you are not a presidential material and therefore cannot be President of Mother Ghana ever. You may fool your gullible congregation but you cannot fool the whole of the country. Just as Bob Nestor Marley recounted in one of his songs, "you can fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool all the people all the time". You are a conman and your actions and inactions will definitely catch up with you one day.

Corruption is evil that is dragging African continent behind though our land is massively blessed by our creator God.
There is nothing that stops you Pastor Otabil under heavens to aspire to redeem your people and nation because the law of the land qualifies you and the good citizens acknowledge your good deeds. I believe God does too. Evilish people hate the truth.
Corrupt people are irresponsible and not reformable until their asses are kicked. Repondents herein clearly show where they belong and their roots. Thieves now with some academic documents parading corridors of power but do not have the wisdom even to make proper use of their loot because their villages are just as they escaped from and will forever be. Cowards hiding in Accra and ripping off Ghana with their nefarious activities but shunning truth and wisdom. Pastor Otabil's singular achievements and motivation to fellow religious folks are yet to be equalled by any of our presidents after Dr. Nkrumah. The truth is what evilish critics are scared off but the day will surely come that they will lick their own vomit. God is speaking to us but we harden our hearts and plug our ears for the love of sin. Well-meaning Ghanaians are grateful for your boldness and efforts. Never relent like the prophets of old and you Pastor, will be vindicated before their very eyes. Genuine "Men of God" and citizens must intensify their condemnation of societal ills and calls for sanity in our beloved nation Ghana.

A country is different from a Church. A church is more or less a dictatorship by the Head, and when it is a one man church like that of Full Gospel and Action Faith, they become "Absolute Monarchies" where the owner's visions, dreams, and declarations become law. Any opposing view is deemed evil. So you see, Pastor Otabil, stay in your comfort zone, ie your church where you reign supreme. A state such as Ghana or Nigeria is made up of many religions and ethnicities. To be president of such a nation takes more than being a pastor. If you do not have the torelance like Busia,Limman, Kuffour, Mills or Mahama, you cannot be President of Ghana. Take it or leave it. Pastor Otabil's reactions to publi critisms in the past have left much to be desired. He forgot that not all Ghanaians are members of his church.

But Dr Otabil is right. He talked about the enforcement of the law as it exists in countries that we admire. No matter the complexities there must a starting point of law enforcement. Leaders are images of its people; the fear is that Ghanaians will be judged corrupt by nature. Beyond this they will be found extremely and unnecessarily polite to correct this. Jeopadizing our reputation.

A friend visited me in the US. While driving, he urged me he wanted to pee so bad. I asked him to hold on till i get to a convenient place, namely a fast food place. His persistence made me stop by the side of the road. He jumped out and ran to the nearest tree where he relieved himself. Lo and behold, before he was done, there was this patrol officer parked behind me. Long story short, my friend from Ghana was made to pay a fine of $500, which was his shopping money home. Big lesson learned and he promised not to make the same mistake ever!!! The only way to make our citizen understand the law is not to appeal to them, but to enforce them. Charity begins at home. When our laws are enforced and Ghanaians abide by them, we wouldn't have Chinese, Indians, Lebanese and Syrians disrespecting us and our laws!

Well spoken but I felt Pastor Dr, Otabil would have looked at Ghana beyond corruption, what else works in Ghana? I would have said "for due to lack of KNOWLEDGE my people Perish". People like Ghanaians who are corruped in every walk of life are simply lacking knowledge- If you are knowledgeable you like to steal, be lawless, be a pretender, dubious, liar, cheat, thief, mismanage, falsehood, lacking creativity, not industrous, not loving, ethnicity, tribalism, wars, hatred etc. If Ghanaians are suffering all the above the means perishing, the BIble says it is due to lack of knowledge. I agree 100%, where are indegenous investors, enterpreneurs, scientistist in Ghana here? Show me only one of THEM.

OBATIL, can only be a president of the mostly fools he is fooling because they people who can't think and are happy for someone like him OTABIL , to be telling them what to do to 've salvation as they so called pastors preach.
These lazy people who only live on the ingroance of the people must be exposed in society.
How come a society who claim to hear this OTABIL , preach still act as they do? They know the preacher himself is worst and will and get money from those who are stealing in our society.
I want OTABIL, to tell the whole world whyjust a preacher like him can be such rich today.

Paster Mensa Otabil is arguably the best president that Ghana may never have. He certainly has what it takes to be the first gentleman of the land. He oozes integrity, has exceptional leadership skills and leads by example. He is a man of God and is not scared to speak the truth but does so tactfully. He is a great teacher. He is articulate and expresses himself well. He is very principled and is morally upright. We need more leaders like this humble man of God. Even though I am not a member of his church I revere and admire him.

Worry not, Otabil, for no nation will ever contemplate having you as President. Just be content with passing out your collection plate at your church.

Pastor right to quote Essc 5:8, how many poor or deprived people have you helped. Good to have that university to boast education. Your fees is too high and moreover if a student comes to u and asks for help with his fees, will you help? Please pray for the nation/president for God's guidance because if you have been getting something from them you will never criticize.

Has someone asked you to be president? I hope you will critique objectively and stop showing colours.
