I will always have problems with people like you, because you are the cause of Ghana's downfall. I don't want to believe that you are one of those dirty corrupt politicians, because then it tells how determine nation wreckers like you are to defend your evil acts. CORRUPTION WILL SURELY BE DEFEATED. With a government that has the love of Ghana in place in future, criminals like you will not have the gust to taunt people who are making effort to get Ghana on a sound footing by talking against corruption and other vices in society. You DD will be in jail for being an ADVOCATE OF CORRUPTION. People like you have no shame but I believe one day, the long arm of the law will reach you. NATION WRECKER AND A CRIMINAL POLITICIAN.

Not only that he should deal with their own corruption in the church first before coming to talk about the rest of the country,they are more corrupt that the politicians,it is not only politicians who are corrupt everyone of us is one way of the other corrupt.
This pastor should give us a break,he is all over the place talking about corruption as if he is clean of corruption,it seems most of them don't even know what is corruption,hence the noise about only politicians being corrupt,the entire country is corrupt,it is a disease that has spread more than Ebola.

Corney, you and many here know what I think about these religious people and their false religions already so I just want to reiterate that the problem of corruption is rooted in the lies the church leaders tell daily and which no one really believe. The church has failed miserably to impact positively on the moral values of Ghanaians, cos most Ghanaians can see through their lies.

Most religious Ghanaians, be they Christians or Muslims, do not really believe in all that biblical and qu'ranic myths and have their own take on these imported religions which have found their expression in the so-called charismatic churches. Rev. Prof Baeta dubbed them "christo-paganist" churches. As we know, these syncretic African churches, with roots in the 1930s, have blossomed into mega-businesses spanning continents. Materialism and the prosperity gospel is their main draw.
They even pray to their god to make a stealing mission successful.

I know a former Nigerian drug mule who who said he used to pray for a good sign before embarking on a trip.

I heard from another how a pastor prayed at church for "Miracle Money" to enter their account. For those of us in the money transfer biz, it is a nightmare for us doing biz with the Nigerian banks. In the age of online payments, the banking laws and regulations are far, far behind the new problems arising.

I agree Moderator and as you said "if the country commits itself to the fight" is what has to be analysed. It is a BIG IF. Africans resort so much into prayers without taking pragmatic steps in solving problems. Let's give it to God is our slogan. Hon. Moderator, there should be a shift here. As you are well aware, God created the world and saw that it was perfect and gave it to man to have dominion over it. You can make your world liveable or vice depending on what you choose. Africans invariably choose the latter. Miracles do not happen in governments. People loot and miracles don't stop that. PRAGMATIC STEPS are what we need. The preaching should stop, we should go out there and have things humanly done. Strong institutions taking care of us. Looters arrested and caged. Corruption is now a badge of honour in our country Hon. Moderator. In countries who do not serve God the way we do in Africa, there is less corruption because the laws protect them. We don't have these. A change of mentality of how problems can be solved should be brought to the fore.

Was this Moderator in Ghana when Kuffour defended corruption by saying "it has been in existence since the days of Adam and Eve" or he was not born by then? I am asking this question because we never heard any noise from Mr. Pastor. It's only when the NDC came to power that he knew that was corruption in Ghana. We cannot win the war against corruption when we fight it with hypocrisy.

By the way, the way you are involved in politics, I doubt if you have the time to read your bible.

Not when we are hungry Pope. Excess food available at all times is the number one antidote to preventing corruption. All and sundry are corrupt, not just the leaders but also men of God, Allah, Nyame, Tsele or Mawu.

Please don't blame only the politicians. Corruption is everywhere in Ghana. We receive and give bribes to poolice, customs, DVLA, govt offices, we steal at work, cheat on exams, cheat our spouses etc.

We can only defeat corruption by voting for the right government. Also, all churches should abide by all rules and be transparent when it comes to accountability. TRANSPARENCY should be the watchword.
