Honour your pledge of protecting the public purse – Moderator tells Prez Akufo-Addo

The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Prof. Cephas Narh Omenyo, has admonished the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo to make corruption his top priority throughout the period of his presidency, calling for implementation of policies that will reorient the attitude of Ghanaians.

Delivering the sermon at a thanksgiving service organized in honour of the President at the Accra Ridge Church, Rt. Rev. Omenyo said the greatest legacy the President can leave behind after his Presidency will be to deal with graft, a challenge the country has been faced with many years.

“My heart leapt with joy when you made the important statement that you would protect the public purse. I am also encouraged by your own plight in setting the personal example in upholding integrity and service and I pray that the Lord enables you to see the realisation of this noble intention,” he said.

He urged the President to employ all of the state machinery to fight the canker if he wants to succeed as President.

President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia today, Sunday attended a thanksgiving service at the Ridge Church in Accra for successfully taking over the administration of the country.

In attendance at the service was the First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo Addo, Vice-President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, Second lady Samira Bawumia, Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Aaron Ocquaye and the Lady Chief Justice Georgina Wood.
