The clergyman reiterated the statement earlier made by the President of the Republic, “The COVID-19 has exposed our health system in Ghana. It has positively informed Ghana on our health delivery and the way forward.” He further stated that this is the time for us to improve our health facilities.
On the role of churches in positively shaping the lives of our leaders/ those in authority, he was of the view that the impact of churches has always been positive and that issues arise from the character of leaders in their covert.
He stated that it’s high time Ghanaians demand from politicians what we need, else we would vote for them. “This is the point churches must also let their members know that a government must be able to cater for its citizenry,” Rev. Dr. Paul Boafo suggested.
He reemphasized, “It’s now time for us to demand from governments what is due us.”
