Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, Chairperson of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has asked political parties to back their promises with action when in government.
He said that an opposition party would have all the solutions to the nation’s problems with lofty promises which they failed to fulfil when they assumed power to the disappointment of the electorate.
“ Action speaks louder than promises: Ghanaians want drastic change in their lives.
“Politicians see the wrongs in this nation only when they are in opposition and will pledge to redeem Ghanaians from economic hardship but they rather do the opposite when they come into government,” he emphasised.
Preaching a sermon recently on the theme “Walking in The Light of God” at the Centenary celebration church service of the Ga Presbytery at the Calvary Congregation, Haatso, in Accra, Rev. Dr. Kwakye said he did not understand why Ghana was totally engulfed in corruption and other negative practices when majority of the members of the various political parties were believers.
“If christains are in a government but fail to change the hopeless situation we find ourselves in, then it is sad.
“Some politicians do not seek the welfare of Ghanaians when they are in power except to change their own situation.
“Ghana is in darkness; light has eluded the nation,” he said, and called on all believers to reflect the light of God in their communities.
Rev. Dr. Kwakye further told the gathering that no matter the hardship Ghanaians were going through in their democratic dispensation, it was better than military dictatorship and urged the citizenry to uphold the peace of this nation.
Dignitaries who attended the important event included Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey, former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
