Ho, Aug 5, GNA- A priest of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church, Ghana, has observed that the sluggish development of the country should be of critical concern to all. Reverend L.K Dzanku said it was an anathema that a country with such lush vegetation, mineral and other varied resources should suffer such widespread depravity, 51 years after independence.
Rev. Dzanku was delivering a sermon to mark Church Choir Day of the Kekeli E.P. Church in Ho. He said deep thinking, industriousness, strategic planning, public spiritedness, integrity, and fellow feeling had sent Asian countries that had independence around the same time with Ghana zooming in all spheres of development, Ghana remained stuck and moving ahead sluggishly. Rev. Dzanku lashed at the professional class and the educated in general for only ravishing in positions with little effect to national development. He said it was heartbreaking that in the midst of many professionals in Ghana, big, medium and even small problems of development had to be fixed by foreign experts to be right. “Let’s see your chains of college degrees turn things into material wealth to take Ghana out of poverty,” Rev Dzanku stated. He suggested the need for music composers to come out with more inspirational songs to galvanize people to work towards national development.
