Keta-Akatsi, 30 January, 2024 / 5:35 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Gabriel Edoe Kumordji of Ghana’s Keta Akatsi Diocese has called upon eligible Ghanaians to vote for leaders, who have the people’s interests at heart in the general elections slated for December 7.
In an interview with ACI Africa, Bishop Kumordji highlighted Ghana’s challenging economic situation, corruption, and unemployment as some of the issues that may strongly come up during the campaigns.
“We want Ghanaians to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) who are dedicated, who love the people, and are ready to serve the people, not to go and sit in Parliament and be fighting for their gains,” he told ACI Africa January 26 on the sidelines of the four-day joint seminar that brought together representatives from the Symposium of Episcopal Conference of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) and the Council of European Bishops' Conferences (CCEE).
“We should also look at the President; we need a President who listens,” the Ghanaian Catholic Bishop said, and added, “There have been cries to the current President to reshuffle the Cabinet even from his own party; he never did it; he won’t listen.”
The Local Ordinary of Keta Akatsi since his consecration in May 2017 underscored the need for the electorate in the West African nation to vote for leaders “who have the constituency, the people at heart.”
