Christians Have A Role To Play In Uniting People – Prof. K.T Oduro
Dean of the School for Educational Development and Outreach of the University of Cape Coast, Prof George K.T Oduro has charged Christians to use their influence to avert the seemingly divisiveness encapsulating the Ghanaian society.
“Christians have the role of uniting people because Jesus Christ said that all may be one. And so wherever there are Christians then it is assumed that unity will prevail. In almost all sectors of the economy we have Christians as well as choristers. They are very active at work places. To what extent are they influencing the work place to uphold the principle of unity that we need as a nation?” he said.
He also called on politicians to recognise their call to service as service to humanity which goes beyond party colours, ethnic differences or religious affiliation.
According to him, our Assembly members’ responsibility is to ensure that there is development within his or her jurisdiction irrespective of political orientation, irrespective of religion among others. An MCE’s commitment is also to the constituency, the District or Municipality where he or she has been provided that leadership because it is the tax payers’ money that is used in paying the salary of the MCE and not that of a political party.
He added, “If you have a Regional minister, he is to think through the needs of the region and not the needs of the political parties. Thus, we expect a regional minister to bring on board all people of different political orientations, different religious orientations among others to think about the region. It is not a question of NPP, NDC, and PPP among others”.
This he said is the only way to develop the country.
