Stop playing political football with economy – Duncan-Williams charges

The founder, Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Nicholas Duncan-Williams has slammed and accused politicians of playing needless political football with Ghana’s economy.

The Charismatic preacher says it is time politicians realised there is an urgent need to fix the Ghanaian economy, no matter which party is in office.

“We don’t care who comes and who goes, just fix the economy; feed us; let us take care of our children and pay their school fees and let’s live a decent [life]. “Free the economy; let some money be in our pockets”, Duncan-Williams roared at Politicians Sunday when President John Mahama and other politicians joined the church to crown the 35th annual convention of the Church.

According to him, the endless merry-go-round of criticisms portends ill for the country.

“When NPP was in office, NDC people were criticising them that they should ‘get out! get out! get out! We have the solutions, everything they are doing is wrong’, now NPP is gone, NDC has come in and NPP is also criticising them; ‘everything you doing is wrong! Wrong! Wrong! And then they will also come and then NDC will also condemn them and then they will also come and all you are doing is wasting our time”, Duncan-Williams bemoaned.

“Make some changes. Move this country. Change the economy. We don’t care who is in office; we don’t care what party is in office as long as we can pay our children’s schools fees and as long as we can solve the problems of traffic on the highways”, he said.
