Very Rev Fr Bernard Kyei
The Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev John Bonaventure Kwofie has appointed Very Rev Fr Bernard Kyei as the new Dean for Madina Deanary.
Very Rev Bernard Kyei who is the Priest-In- Charge of St John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, on the Adentan -Dodowa highway,takes over from Very Rev Fr Nimorius Kwabena Adomanzing.
The appointment which will last for five years, makes him an ex-oficio member of the Diocesan Council of Priests.
Preaching the homily last Sunday to mark the feast day of the church, Fr Bernard Kyei called on Christians to take advantage of God’s unlimited mercy and forgiveness to be cleansed of their inequities.
He said Christians ought to rejoice because Jesus the son of God had nailed their sins on the cross and won for them salvation.
He said lent should serve an ideal opportune time for all to amend their lives, forgive the wrongs of others in order that God would forgive them their sins.
He advised them not to condemn anybody, even prostitutes, because God the merciful judge would pardon all manner of sins, provided one returned to God with a contrite heart.
Very Rev Fr Kyei said God the arbiter of our lives was constantly calling us to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved.
He asked them to imitate Jesus in all aspects of their lives, eschew sin because so long as they sinned, they crucified Jesus daily on the cross.

Parliament has clarified public commentary on social media regarding a notice on its notice board that read “No Vacancy for National Service Personnel 2026/2027. Kindly go for reposting.”
In a statement, signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah, Parliament said the notice has been misconstrued and was not a policy statement, a freeze on national service placements, or a change in its support for the National Service Scheme.
According to Parliament, the notice was a routine administrative message to prospective personnel who reported to the House, informing them that it has received more personnel than it can accommodate for the 2026/2027 service year and that they should seek reposting to other institutions.
It said it remains committed to the National Service Scheme and values the contribution of service personnel to its work, and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the wording may have caused.

Ghanaian public advocate Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has been elected to the Board of Directors of the World Taxpayers Association (WTA).
The election took place on Sunday, October 5, 2026, during the Association’s conference in Kraków, Poland.
His election marks a significant addition to his international leadership portfolio and provides a platform for Ghanaian and African perspectives to contribute to global discussions on taxpayer rights, responsible taxation, transparency and prudent management of public resources.
Reacting to his election, Mr. Adorye expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the WTA for the confidence reposed in him.
“I am deeply honoured by this confidence and conscious of the responsibility that comes with it. Taxpayers are at the heart of every economy, and they deserve fairness, transparency, accountability and value for the taxes they pay. I look forward to working with colleagues from across the world to strengthen the voice of taxpayers and promote responsible fiscal governance,” he said.
According to him, taxation should not be viewed solely as a mechanism for raising government revenue, but also as an important component of the social contract between citizens and the state.
Mr. Adorye said governments have a responsibility to ensure taxes are collected fairly and public resources are utilised efficiently to deliver quality infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and other essential services.
His election also creates an opportunity to bring African experiences into international conversations on taxation and public expenditure.
Mr. Adorye, who is Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana, has previously served as Global Board Chairman of the International Youth Network for UN Security Council Resolution 2250, an NGO associated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
He is expected to use his new role to champion fiscal accountability, taxpayer education, good governance and stronger citizen participation in public financial management.
