The Member of Parliament for Fomena Constituency, Nana Abu Bonsra, has appealed to the Church to do more to help calm tension ahead of the December polls.
He said the Church should use its tremendous influence with the people to assist them to smooth over their differences and live in total peace and harmony.
He was speaking at an annual retreat held by the Scripture Union (SU) at Sekyedumase in the Ejura-Sekyedumase District.
Nana Abu Bonsra advised voters to make the right judgment by electing those who could deliver on their election promises to lead them and to refuse to be swayed by lies, deception and propaganda.
He also reminded the people to work together to protect the peace, unity and cohesion of the country and under no circumstance should they allow themselves to be torn-apart on the basis of either politics or religion.
Mr. Yussif Pangabu, the MP for Ejura-Sekyedumase, appealed to Christians to help take care of the poor and the socially disadvantaged and they should accept to contribute their bit to bring some relief and comfort to them.
He also advised against the craze for material wealth which is fueling corruption in the society.
The MP called on Christians to set good examples in modesty and integrity.
Madam Martha Bruckner, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, urged mothers to discourage the youth from acts of political violence, before, during and after the December 7 elections.
