  IT'S A WELL KNOWN AND PAINFUL FACT THAT GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE POLITICIANS HAVE BEATEN THEIR NIGERIAN COUNTERPARTS HANDS DOWN IN THE CORRUPTION DEPARTMENT.

  THAT WHY NONE OF THEM HAS THE MORAL EPTITUDE TO ERADICATE CORRUPTION.
  
  CORRUPTION AMONG GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF GHANA'S CURRENT CHALLENGES.

  Preach on Bishop. If Ghanaians want real change and a leader who will put the country fist, then they should vote for Dr. Nduom. Otherwise except the same corrupt practices and don't complain or pray for progress. God has given us the power to determine the type of government we want. Now it's up to us. Amen!

  It is surprised that some so called pastors,revenues,bishops and clergies inclding my moderator complaining about corruptions in Ghanaian politics but not the explotation of some churches of the poor cogregations of collections,yearly dues, harvests,prayers moneys and spiritual exploitations with impuniyies without criticism because these exploitations are based on free will.Please clean your house before you critise others. In your case,peoples are scared to criticise you but infact in the politics you can seek justice per judiciary so if you have evidence of corruption against any politician then report to the police for their arrests and prosecutions. Many of these critisms come from these so-called christian leaders who support the oppositon party NPP.But when NPP was in power and they sold our scientific base such as our Ghana Airways which operated for more than fivety years and the Ghana telecommunications to vodafone fore more than fivety years and shared the money openly,not a single of these so-called chritian leaders criticise Kufuor and his NPP government including Nana Akufo-Addo who is seeking to be president.Not to mention how they left Ghana roads,streets in the cities and the fly-overs dusty and uncompleted which have been completed by the late NDC president Prof.Attah-Mills and Mr Mahama.With the exception of the lighting problem which is due to natural rainfallls and which is beyond human power.We can be right to critise broking promises made by the president and some ministers to the public and businesses. With the exception of our late President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah no civilian government has done anything better than NDC Government under the late presient Prof.Attah-Mills and current president Mr.Mahama. The military governments did worse by destroying our railways,Ghana shipping line Black Star etc.Long live Osagyefo Dr. Nkrumah,long live Ghana with God Blessing.

  “Let us vote for men who can fight and cause real change, other than that our country would never see the progress we all dream of,” Lol, do we actually have any such people in Ghana now? Corruption is so entrenched in the system that we may need a dictatorship such as (Rawlings initial gov't) to clean the crap out. At the current rate, it will be difficult making any progress... we are virtually doom.

  Our clergy must stop the double face. Corruption is everywhere, not only with the politician. Since the corruption is sickening, why not announce in your church that you will not accept for collection money with questionable source. The Clergy are afraid to tell the people that their money is dirty and earned from corruption.

  If there was any spiritual reason why Ghana is fucked up and consumed with senseless corruption, it would be because of you, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Botchwey and all the "men of god". Let's start with your own ego - your desire to be recognised and held in high esteem has caused you to have preference for your titles - REVEREND (Holy, Selected, Honoured...etc.) and DOCTOR (learned, expert, specialist..etc.). This is in direct contradiction to Jesus's carpenter's son status. Jesus called himself "Son of God" because that was who he was. When Satan showed Jesus all the wealth of the land and offered him "everything". He refused. This is the way Jesus expects his followers to behave.
  
  Let us continue with the opening of the 23rd Session of the General Council of the Church in Takoradi on the theme, 'Moving Forward with the Greater Works Agenda'.
  
  This is another ego boosting, selfish, senseless corruption of you and your followers souls. Why greater works agenda? Read this quote from Micah 3:11
  
  "Your leaders exchange justice for bribes. Your priests teach for a price. Your prophets tell the future for money. But they rely on the LORD when they say, "After all, the LORD is with us. Nothing bad will happen to us."
  
  I will paraphrase:
  
  Ghanaian leaders like exchange justice for bribes.
  Ghanaian priests teach for a price.
  Your prophets tell the future for money.
  
  Then when Ghana becomes a perfect country for "senseless, mindless and sickening corruption", they think God is with us. God already left Ghana.
  
  Your Excellency, Reverend, Doctor Emmanuel Botwey, this is what God is saying to you and Archbishop Duncan-Williams and General Overseer Mensah-Otabil, Bishop Prophet Salifu-Amoako, Pastor Abubakari Baku and all the other "men of god":
  
  "What sorrow awaits the leaders of my people--the shepherds of my sheep--for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for," says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:1
  
  In conclusion, Ghana is fucked up and will continue in its downward spirial until you and the men/women appointed to shepherd (love, care, be compassionate, feed, shelter...etc.) the people (Christians, Moslems, Ba'Hai, Buddist, Sakawa, Ewe, Asante, Ga...all of them), begin to do your "divine" job.
