The founder and presiding Bishop of Perez Chapel International, Bishop
Charles Agyin-Asare has charged politicians in the country to desist
from acts that could plunge the nation into chaos in 2016.
According to him, the conduct of all political parties should be
peaceful even as the country prepares to transit into the election
season.
Speaking at a special service to usher in the New Year, Bishop
Agyin-Asare warned politicians in the country against doing anything
that will threaten the peace in the country adding that "as we
approach the elections, they should not make it look like it is a do
and die affair. Our politicians should not give us politics of insults
but they should give us politics of serious issues."
Though President John Mahama who observed the 31st December watch
night serviceat the Perez Chapel is optimistic the general election in
2016 will be incident-free,some civil society groups have warned of
dire consequences if electoral reforms are not implemented
immediately.
Bishop Agyin-Asare further urged persons entrusted with leadership
positions to eschew corrupt practices that could retard the
development of the nation saying, "no politician should take the money
supposed to be used for development of deprived areas for their
personal use."
He also advised the judiciary to be impartial in the delivery of justice.
"Judges give us righteous judgment. Mr Judge…in 2015 don't extort
money to bend the rules against the poor. Make no mistake….God is the
judge of us all," he said.
