Jesus told you that his kingdom is not part of this world and that his followers shouldn't get involved in political issues or they will incur the wraths of earthiy governments.The churches have also failed in their duty to transform the morality of their followers to serve the interest of the nation. All the criminal activities against the state are done by both christians and moslems. Look at the lifestyles of the leaders of the petecostal churches. They are filthy rich and lead expensive lifestyles at the expense of their flocks.You never hear them advising their church members to be honest to the state. They give high seats to those who give them fat envelopes.

@They are Ghanaians - The first commenter (Ghanani) is far more sensible than you! Just go back and read the facts that he has written, and compare it to the absolute nonsense that you have written. Why would you continue to "honour your father & mother" when they are unrepentant criminals? Stupid boy! How can I honour my father and mother if they are LIFETIME THIEVES ..??

My question is; do all these Bishops go sleeping when the NPP is in power? What I am happy about, though, is that at least they know the NDC is always a listening government!!

Laughter, your name rightly fits you. If Akufo Addo was not corrupt, then who was? The massive loot at the so called national cathedral, allowing Wontumi to pollute our water bodies, letting the Nigerian Peters rob us at the airport, and the list goes on. There hasn’t been a corrupt president more than Akuffo Addo. Even Hotel Wawa Kufuor was better.

The Catholic Bishops were very charitable to John Mahama. They should have gone further to condemn him for trying to take the country along the path of tyranny.

No wonder the Bible says not everyone who says God, God will enter the Kingdom of God but those who do the will of God.Look at these Bishops today!! I remember Appiah Stadium met Christian Council President in an occasion and asked him he don't hear from him talking about Akufo Addo government as he talked about Mahama regime, the answer he gave to Appiah Stadium was he is no more the President, so this Bishop Gyamfi, when NPP come back to power he will tell us he is no more the President.

Reforming the Electoral Commission and Judiciary for True Independence

To strengthen democracy and uphold the principles of justice and accountability, it is imperative that the Electoral Commission be reformed to ensure its neutrality, independence, and apolitical character. No member of the Commission should be permitted to hold membership in any political party. Strict regulations must be in place to immediately dismiss any member who joins or associates with a political party.

The appointment of the Chairman of the Electoral Commission should be strictly based on seniority within the Commission. The most senior officer should be nominated by the President and confirmed by a two-thirds majority of the Parliament to guarantee legitimacy and bipartisan trust.

These same principles should be applied to the judiciary, particularly in the appointment of the Chief Justice. Ensuring that such appointments are based on merit and seniority — and subject to legislative approval — will safeguard the independence of the judiciary.

Implementing these reforms will significantly enhance the credibility of our electoral process and the judiciary. They are vital steps toward guaranteeing free and fair elections, fostering public trust, and ensuring the delivery of impartial justice.

It's heartwarming to hear the GCBC coming out with such a nationalistic statement . Previously they didn't find nothing wrong with the npp when they were in power . The npp committed so many grievous crimes against both the nation and individuals but we didn't hear from the association. So it's very heartwarming to hear them taking decisions that will benefit the nation.

FAKE CEDI APPRECIATION
Mahama Ministers unhappy with Finance Minister over funding freeze for procurement
Senior officials across these ministries have confirmed that budget lines for procurement remain in limbo.

The Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, MP, is facing growing criticism from within the Mahama government. Several sector ministers express frustration over the Treasury’s failure to release funds for critical procurement activities, which Jubilee insiders say is fueling tension in the Cabinet.

Asaase News has learnt that ministries such as Communications, Transport, Education, Health, Local Government, Interior, and Energy have not received any meaningful procurement-related disbursements from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) since January. Senior officials across these ministries have confirmed that budget lines for procurement remain dry, stalling projects and disrupting service delivery.

“The system is simply not working. We’re being starved,” one official in the Ministry of Health lamented on condition of anonymity. “We have had to cancel planned purchases for basic medical supplies.”

According to sources familiar with this development, discontent boiled over at the most recent Cabinet meeting, where tempers reportedly flared over what some described as the Finance Ministry’s sabotage.

“There were heated exchanges,” said one insider. “Many ministers accused the Finance Ministry of undermining their ability to deliver.”

The sole exception appears to be the Ministry of Energy, which continuously secure tens of millions of dollars to procure fuel for power stations to tackle the President’s biggest headache, “24-hour dumsor”, in the words of the Minority in Parliament.

However, the fuel procurement is also creating its own tensions as they are controlled by a “small privileged circle of ‘family & friends’, according to a source at the National Petroleum Commission, which regulates all imports of petroleum products regarding laycan.

Notably, these transactions are being executed outside the usual competitive tendering process, raising questions about transparency and competitiveness in public spending.

The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has come under particular fire, with accusations that his office is paralysing the government’s work. Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh, recently raised the issue in Parliament, questioning why the District Assemblies Common Fund and other statutory transfers have still not been released.

But while the spending freeze is drawing criticism from policymakers, it appears to deliver one unintended benefit: a stabilising effect on the Ghana cedi. The public sector is by far the biggest spender in the country.

With government spending—typically the largest source of demand for foreign exchange—now at a virtual halt, demand for dollars has slumped, offering some respite for the local currency, which had been under significant pressure.

Analysts say the government’s inaction is already hurting public services, although it’s giving the cedi some breathing space. With Ghana’s economy still navigating an IMF-supported programme and painful fiscal adjustments, the tension between tightening the purse strings and maintaining government functionality may grow sharper.
