Most of the ‘strict’ church guidelines came from the pastors - NAPO discloses

The Chieftancy and Religious Affairs Minister, Mr Samuel Kofi Dzamesi a few days ago, announced protocols churches must adhere to at a press conference after President Akufo-Addo eased restrictions on the ban on public gathering.

Some have described these measures as strict and demanding.

Others have also wondered how the small churches with little resources are going to adhere to them.

Speaking to this on Peace FM’s morning show 'Kokrokoo', Education Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh said even though some may think the measures are stringent, they were put together by the Pastors themselves.

“Some of the guidelines came from the pastors . . . They have been having a lot of meetings with the COVID team and so most of the guidelines came from those meetings,” he told Kwami Sefa Kayi.
