The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South Constituency in the Upper East Region Dr. Clement Apaak, has launched a verbal attack at the religious leaders in Ghana, describing them as hypocrites.
The former presidential staffer stated that he found it extremely difficult to understand why the religious leaders are silent in the country as Ghanaians go through hardship under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led New Patriotic Party NPP.
According to Dr. Apaak, the clergy, as leaders of people of faith, are aware of the challenges faced by their members but have failed to put the government on its toes.
“Our clergy are not honest. You represent the people; you ought to call a spade a spade. They are supposed to be our moral compass. They know the hardship that their church members are going through but have chosen to be quiet.
When religious leaders speak, they are not able to tell the government the truth, he quoted
He said, by their silence, the religious leaders are being hypocrites because they dared to criticize ex-President John Dramani Mahama when the country was going through some challenges during his term.
Dr. Apaak made these comments whilst reacting to the Christian Council of Ghana’s call on the ex-President John Dramani Mahama to help resolve challenges in the country, particularly, the impasse among members of the minority and majority caucuses of parliament on the E-Levy bill.
