    What the hell is "holy" about these two places? In Vatican, the pope resigned over allegations of open homosexualism of many of the ach bishops. In Israel, the Ashkenazis are NOT hebrews and are fake Jews and had caused many ...

    American medical student just died at the 37 military hospital because they didn't have oxygen. My hope for Ghana is now disappearing. I thought Akkuffo Addo was different from others.

  • AGBESI KWESI 6 years ago

    Islam cannot survive without direct government support and protection. This is because Islam has a very weak message and so use government machinery to gag those who want to question certain Islamic doctrines.

    How about the MUSLIM Jihad? What discrimination is this?

    Apostle, you are good. How can they use tax payers money for pilgrimage and go about asking for alms from UK, USA, China, Japan, etc.

    Though am against it then the government should also seize from the benefits Moslems gets to visit Mecca. The truth must be told. Whatever is good for the moslem, its equally good for the Christian.

  • Adjua 6 years ago

    I think the statement was to streamline and facilitate, not to sponsor. Each pilgrim will pay for his own travel.

  • AGBESI KWESI 6 years ago

    Who is going to pay the $21.0M debt left behind by the previous Hajj Committee which was set up by corrupt Mahama.

  • Odumgya Gyamfi. 6 years ago

    Adjua what does "streamline" and "facilitate" mean? Government should stay out of this religious business. What title will be confered on a christian who goes to Isreal or Vetican? Holyman? Isrealni? or Veticano? And how does ...

    There is no sense in it at all.
    Christians and moslims who think of benefiting from this lazy govt offers should bow their heads in shame.

  • Tetteh 6 years ago

    Hypocricy? Government to sponsor Christian Pilgrimage.
    In the church of Pentecost, Pastors who go on pilgrimage are not sponsored by the church. They are privately funded. Pls do investigate in the church for facts.
