Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, founder of the Perez Chapel International, has said that the fight against corruption will not be an easy battle.
According to him, the country’s wealth has been misused by the government on unnecessary political campaigns that is affecting the country’s economy.
He added that if the NDC comes into power coming 2024, they should make sure to protect the economy and make the country feel safe finance wise.
His comments come after the leaders of the NDC visited his church for a thanksgiving service on Sunday, January 8, 2023.
“It’s obvious the greatest enemy of this nation is corruption, but looking at the way political parties fund their activities and campaigns, our view is that we are not going to [win the] fight [against] corruption anytime soon. Those political businesses who fund politicians end up hijacking the wealth of the nation. Politicians should help us fight this because our nation is sinking too fast, and we cannot continue in this direction,” the Archbishop said.
Adding to the statements he made about the upcoming 2024 election, he cautioned the electoral commission to be fair.
“The IPAC in the past has been a good forum that has helped. It shouldn’t be destroyed. The EC should work to bring its stakeholders together for peace and good of the nation and not divide them. The dealings of the EC should be so transparent that winners will be acknowledged by all, and losers will be seen by all to have lost,” he added.
