Apostle of Integrity Award conferred on Dr.
Afari-Gyan
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, April 13, Ghanadot -
The Royal House Chapel, has conferred on the Chairman of
the Electoral Commission(EC), Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, the
title of Apostle of Integrity in recognition of his
achievements and dedicated service to Ghana.
Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, Apostle General of the church,
who Conferred the title on him said Dr. Afari-Gyan’s
dedication to doing what is right had preserved the
peace of the country.
The award package included a plague, a citation, a
cheque for 5, 000 US dollars and a yearly donation of
10,000 Ghana cedis to the EC boss after his tenure of
office until his death.
Standard Water also presented to the EC Chairman 10
boxes of drinking water with his photograph embossed on
the water bottles and an amount of GH¢500.
Rev. Ankrah warned Dr. Afari-Gyan against using the
money for charity saying the Church was already engaged
in numerous charity activities.
He cited orphanages, payment of hospital bills for the
poor and fees for needy but brilliant students as some
of the charity activities of the church.
The award also included a Bible which the Apostle
General said was the source of wisdom which is critical
in his job.
Rev. Korankyi Ankrah said it was regrettable that
despite all the hard work the Commission Chairman was
doing for the nation, he was hardly recognized.
“Two days to elections everybody will be sitting on
thorns. People are fasting, praying and crying, but as
soon as the elections are over and there is peace
everybody forgets this man.
“What I admire about this man is that when there is
political tension he doesn’t talk, he keeps quiet and
when he speaks there is peace,” he observed.
He prayed that electoral commissioners of other African
countries will emulate the example of Dr. Afari-Gyan.
In his response, the Afari-Gyan said he was overwhelmed
by the award and charged religion-based organizations in
the country to educate their members on the essence of
voting.
If that was done, he said, it would lessen the tensions
associated with elections.
“The countries democracy will improve in quality only if
people know the significance of votes, (for) votes only
represents the legitimate door to democratic leadership.
“Votes are Godly, but the men of God must stand up and
protect the sanctity of the votes.”
As for the politicians, they will always adopt
unconventional means to win elections but will be quick
to point accusing fingers at others.
But that, he contends is the nature of the game.
Dr. Afari-Gyan said amidst “allegations, accusations,
insults and sometimes threats,” the commission and its
staff remained resolute in the discharge of their
duties.
“Your own conscience is a worthy judge but God is the
ultimate judge,” he surmonised.
