Accra, Jan. 13, Ghanadot/GNA -
Right Rev. Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso, Moderator of the
Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) on Sunday asked leaders
to regard themselves as servants chosen by God or men to
serve in love for the common goal and benefits of society.
"You have been chosen to serve by the Lord through his
people, therefore rely on God for direction and be
determined to work hard to propel the nation in its
development drive".
Rev. Frimpong-Manso, who was speaking at the induction
service for the Director General and Deputy of the Ghana
Broadcasting Corporation in Accra entreated them to see
leadership as a corporate responsibility where everyone had
to contribute his or her quota to achieve the corporation's
objectives.
He said leadership entailed sacrifice and called on them at
every time be humble, regardless of any situation in order
for them to achieve best results for the corporation adding;
"Turn GBC to be the pathfinder in the communication
industry".
Rev. Frimpong-Manso urged the leaders to eschew corruption,
immorality and be useful catalysts in the service to society
and God.
"Depart from iniquity, corruption, immorality and be vessels
for God's mission on earth," he said.
Mr. William Ampem-Darko, Director General of GBC after his
induction thanked the church for their immense support and
promised to use GBC as a channel to maintain the peace that
the country was enjoying.
"I implore all the flagbearers of the various political
parties to be civil in the package of their campaign
messages as against provocative diction which will not augur
well for the peace of the nation".
"Ghanaians are becoming aware of the things that go on in
the political arena and a well-packaged message will win the
day," he added.
Mr Ampem-Darko urged private broadcasters to be wary of
NMC's code on political reportage and observe the tenets in
order to preserve the peace of the nation in this
electioneering year.
He said GBC would set up Election Monitoring Committtee to
monitor and check the corporation's activities on the
various political parties, adding; "We promise to work hard
to ensure fair coverage on activities of the various
parties".
Mr. Joe Ghartey, Minister of Justice and Attorney General
called on Ghanaians to condemn any action by any individual
that would disturb the peace of the country.
