Ghanaians blamed for economic woes

Ejisu (Ashanti Region) -- Very Reverend Samuel Fosu Kusi-Appiah, Superintendent Minister of the Ejisu circuit of the Methodist Church, has blamed all Ghanaians for corrupt and irresponsible practices that have contributed to the current socio-economic woes of the country.

He has therefore, appealed to Ghanaians to accept their weaknesses in good faith and strive to make amends in the New Year to help improve the economy, instead of always pointing accusing fingers on certain individuals and governments.

Rev Kusi-Appiah was preaching the sermon to mark the Covenant Sunday of the Ejisu circuit of the Methodist Church at Ejisu on Sunday. The occasion was also used to pray for the government and the people of Ghana as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fourth republic.

He said corrupt practices in homes, churches, offices, market places, borders as well as lack of sacrifices and dedication had ruined the nation and urged Ghanaians to re-think and change their attitude to help rebuild the country.

He commended the initiative taken by the government to reconcile the nation and said it was only through unity that the country could move forward. Rev Kusi-Appiah urged all Ghanaians irrespective of their social, political and religious background to come together to find solutions to the problems facing the nation.
