Christian Council demands accountability from political parties
The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) says it is
concerned about the loud silence of political
parties in their manifestos about issues of
critical concern to the Christian community.

General Secretary Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni Frimpong
says issues affecting mission schools,
universities and hospitals must not be taken for
granted because of the significant contributions
of Christians to national development.

“We provide employment for a huge number of
people in churches and other places,” he said on
3FM on Monday, November 14. Most of the 2016
political party manifestos have been silent on the
Christian community though the Muslim community
has been provided for in a way.

Making Arabic a part of the mainstream curriculum
is touted as morale-boosting for Muslims.

“But we have issues in our universities and
hospitals,” noted Rev. Dr Opuni Frimpong.

“We realized after studying the various
manifestos which we recommend, but we think that
because of our contributions to employment,
education, health and other things, at least the
various political parties and their manifestos
should respond to the interest of religious
bodies.”
