The Bishop of Berberati in the Central African Republic (CAR), Most Rev. Dennis Kofi Agbenyadzi, has urged Christians to demonstrate the spirit of honesty in all their dealings.
He said following Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world, demanded that they succumbed to the teachings of Jesus, “lead upright lives devoid of lies and all forms of evil,” he said.
In a homily at St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, near Oyibi in Accra recently, he asked the faithful to reflect on the values of integrity and truthfulness.
Bishop Agbenyadzi advised them to pray constantly in order to enable them to overcome the myriad of temptations in the world.
He urged all to keep in high esteem their baptismal vows, always study the word of God, and stressed the need for them to spend valuable time in adoration to the Blessed Sacrament.
During the Holy Mass, Madam Mabel Dzokoto, who was elected as the fourth President of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Society of St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, was introduced to the congregation and prayed over.
Opanyin Mabel Dzokoto, who is also known for her charitable works in the church, had provided choir robes for the Youth Choir of the church.
Additionally, as the Past Noble Advisor, Madam Dzokoto is serving her second term as the Regional Secretary/Regional Monitoring and Evaluation Officer of the Ho/Jasikan Region of the Marshallan Society. She is also credited as the founding member of St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, Marshallan Association, as well as the Acting Vice Chairperson of the association.
Madam Dzokoto, who solicited the support of all during her tenure, called for love and the spiritual upliftment of members.
Opanyin Catherine Mensah, who is the immediate past President of the association, said membership had grown from 25 to 108, increased its finances and expressed her willingness to mentor the Children’s Wing of the society, known as the ‘Little Flowers’.
A patron of the society, Opanyin Irene Budu, urged members to imitate the examples of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus in their lives.

Construction of a major underground stormwater drain along the Dr. Busia Highway within the Kaneshie enclave will commence on September 7, 2026.
The Project Coordinator for the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project, Dr. Kwadwo Ohene Sarfo, announced this at a special media briefing on Wednesday.
According to him, the works will involve the construction of a double-cell underground rectangular drain measuring approximately 10 metres wide and 1.95 kilometres long, stretching from Pamprom Junction to First Light Junction.
The new drain will replace the existing two 1.2-metre diameter pipes, which are inadequate to carry the volume of stormwater in the area.
Dr. Sarfo said the drain will connect at one end to the recently completed section within the Accra Academy campus and at the other end to the existing drain at Pamprom Junction.
He said the construction is expected to run from September 2026 to October 2027.
The project forms part of government’s broader flood prevention and mitigation programme aimed at addressing perennial flooding in Accra.

The former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn from the party’s National Chairmanship race.
In a statement issued yesterday, Chairman Wontumi who is currently serving a 20-year jail term said his decision was driven by his love for the party and his unwillingness to let his personal circumstances distract the NPP from its rebuilding efforts.
“There are moments in the life of a man when the heart wants to continue, but duty demands sacrifice. Moments when one must quietly set aside personal ambition, not because the dream has died, but because the family he loves must not be made to carry his burden. Today, I find myself at such a painful moment,” he wrote.
He disclosed that after many nights of prayer, sober reflection and consultations with his family, legal team, party elders, campaign team and trusted supporters, he concluded that his present situation must not become an additional burden on the NPP.
“This is not the decision my heart desired, but sometimes, true love requires us to release what we deeply want in order to protect what we love even more,” he added.
Recounting his years of service, Chairman Wontumi said he had served the party with everything within him, walking through heat and rain, travelling to remote communities and standing with the grassroots in both victory and defeat.
“For many years, I have served the NPP with everything within me… The NPP is not merely a political party to me. It is my family. It is my home. It is a cause to which I have dedicated a significant part of my life,” he stated.
He explained that the party, already carrying the pain of electoral defeat and the huge responsibility of preparing for the future, should not be made to carry his personal weight.
“That is why I cannot allow my present situation or personal ambition to distract the party from the difficult work of rebuilding. I cannot ask the party to carry my weight when it is already carrying the pain of defeat and the enormous responsibility of preparing for the battle ahead. I would rather carry this pain quietly than allow the party I love to suffer because of me,” he said.
He further sympathized with his supporters across the 16 regions, acknowledging that the decision would be painful for many who had sacrificed for his campaign.
“To my teeming supporters across all sixteen regions, I know this message will hurt. I know many of you will read it with tears in your eyes because I understand the sacrifices you have made for this journey,” he said.
