Former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong has asked President Akufo-Addo to use the Senchi Consensus approach used by former President John Dramani Mahama when the country was struck by 'dumsor' to turn around the current economic problems facing the country.

He spoke in an interview after delivering a sermon at the 10th Anniversary celebration of the God's Love Presbyterian Church at Satellite, Kutunse in the Greater Accra region on Sunday, December 4, 2022.

"When you are in abnormal times you don't apply the normal principles. . . ever since the President said we are in crises, we are not getting the approach that we are in crises."

"If the President admits that we are in crises, we want to see that . . . now our confidence level is low.

"We have reached a point where we are calling for collective responsiblity, approaches towards a crises," he said.

According to him former President Mahama invited opinion and religious leaders to a 3 day consensus meeting to profer solutions to the power problems among others in 2014 then which yielded results.

". . with where we have reached now it is not about the NPP is in power, it won't help, let us listen to every Ghanaian, the crises affects everbody and not only NPP members . . . people are really suffering," he told UTV in an interview.

"We need a more visible approaches calling for collective response, and humbly I want to say we are not seeing that," he said.

He said the President should listen to the masses and stop the situation whereby the party in power feels it is the only one that can solve the current economic situation.

"Senchi consensus approach was good, if the current government would use it during this difficult times it would be to the benefit of all of us . . ."

The 10th Anniversary celebration of the church was on the theme; "Celebrating a Decade of Manifesting God's Love to all people (John 15:12)".
