Tema 'Mantse' concerened about JAK-JJ relationship

Tema, Oct. 12, GNA - The Tema Mantse, Nii Adjei Kraku II, has expressed grave concern about the relationship between President John Agyekum Kufour and the Former President Jerry John Rawlings and urged religious leaders not to relent on their efforts to ensure that there is cordiality between them.

If care is not taken it will get to a time where supporters of the two leaders would not see the need to be united and this would never bring peace in the country, he cautioned and added that 'meanwhile we need to be united to celebrate the 50th Anniversary as one country.'

The Tema Mantse raised these concerns when some members of the Ghana Pentecostal Council called on him to inform him of a crusade the council is organizing in Tema from Wednesday to Sunday, October 15. He reminded Christian leaders of their important role of praying to ensure that peace prevails in the country and assured the group of the council's preparedness to support them throughout their programme.

The Pastor In-Charge of the Community Four Assemblies of God Church, Rev. David Negbemado, said the aim of the crusade is to bring the word of God to the city to ensure that people, especially the youth are transformed and reformed.

He asked for God's blessing for the Municipality and prayed that God, through the five-day programme would eradicate some of the problems facing the people in the Municipality.

In a related development the Tema Mantse, on behalf of the Traditional Council, on Thursday donated 100 bags of cement towards the construction of an eye centre at the Tema General Hospital. The project, which was started two years ago is being undertaken by the Lions Club of Tema and it includes an information centre and a major operating theatre.

At a short ceremony in Tema, Nii Adjei Kraku explained that the gesture formed part of the Council's social responsibility and urged industries in Tema to contribute their quota towards its completion. The Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. Charity Sarpong, thanked the Council for the gesture and reminded the people that health care should not be seen as the responsibility of the Government alone but all in the society.

She added that investing in health goes a long way to help the society in prevention of diseases and hoped individuals as well as Non-Governmental Organisations would emulate the Traditional Council to assist the Hospital in the provision of quality healthcare to the people and surrounding communities.
