Let us believe in Ghana - Justice Bonney
Accra, Sept.6, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr
Justice Paul Baffoe -Bonney, a Supreme Court Judge on
Saturday called on all citizens to believe in Ghana, because
there is much to be reaped from it.
"Much has been said about how bad this nation appears to be
and its slow pace in development, the nation can do with our
help if we remain in it, there is much fruit to be borne,"
he added.
Justice Baffoe-Bonney who was speaking at the 52nd annual
council meeting of the Boys Brigade, under the theme "Bear
much fruit," said it was sad that the nation was losing so
much of its best brains to developed countries.
He said the youth must be empowered to appreciate the
challenges ahead of them to help them tap the wealth of
resources available, since the future of the nation would be
entrusted in them.
Justice Baffoe-Bonney advised electorates in the coming
elections to be informed voters who will vote for those they
believe in, and also for what they believe in.
He said it is the collective responsibility of all to ensure
that the election was violent free.
He urged members of the brigades not to limit themselves to
the core training they had received, but to explore other
areas of importance that will enhance their scope of
knowledge.
Revered Kwesi Agyin-Birikorang, President of the Brigade
said the objective of the brigade is for the advancement of
Christ's kingdom among boys and to promote habits of
reverence, discipline, self-respect and all that tends
towards a true Christian manliness.
He added that the brigade would care for and challenge young
people for life, through a programme of informal education,
underpinned by the Christian faith.
Rev Agyin-Birikorang advised the brigades to behave well as
Christians during and after the elections.
