    Yaw Osafo-Marfo, a senior presidential advisor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has claimed that corruption in the nation is getting worse rather than better.

    He asserts that the Church must be a key player in the fight against corruption in the nation.

    Speaking to the 23rd General Meeting of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana over the weekend in Kwahu Abetifi in the Eastern Region, the former Finance and Education Minister questioned how we could defend the Christian faith when Christians were responsible for 70% of all funds stolen illegally from the public coffers annually.

    “If there is that much decay in our body politics, the Christian community has a role to play. 70% of the population is Christianity so what kind of message do we continuously give to that population of the country, what kind of moral lesson are we able to put through this huge percentage? If we are not able to do anything to make certain changes then Christianity itself has a problem in terms of making our words work,” he stated.

    Osafo-Marfo added: “I think we need to go back and visit the drawing board to see what we should do as a Christian group to influence the behavior of the system, is it that your preaching’s your moral lessons are now not effective? We should ask a few questions, if indeed 70% of us are Christians and corruption begins to go from bad to worse what is really happening we need to do some retrospection and as a country together with the government take certain actions to redeem the nation from corruption.”

    Additionally, he stated that Ghana’s alarmingly high graduate unemployment rate is endangering national security.

    He attributed the predicament to the educational system, which moved away from practical skill training and toward theory.

    He claimed that he is uncomfortable with the way that nearly all of Ghana’s universities still offer humanities courses rather than technical programs.
