RETIRED DEPUTY Commissioner of
Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and a
Reverend Minister of the Four Square
Gospel Church, Rev Peter Kwame
Abebrese, has called on Ghanaians
especially Christians, to fight against
corruption in the country.
According to him, Ghana is made up
of 70% Christians so if the Christians
alone will sincerely step up the fight
against corruption, Ghana will be free
and the nation will see massive
development.
In an interview with the DAILY
HERITAGE, Rev Abebrese said the
only thing that could help Christians fight
corruption is the “fear of God factor”.
“If you sincerely have the ‘fear of
God factor’ in you, anytime you are going
to do something or engage in any corrupt
act, your conscience will prick you and
immediately your consciousness will be
awakened,” he stated.
He said the corruption fight was not
easy because not even the revolution
could stop corruption in the country and
called on Ghanaians to rally behind the
government to stop the canker.
“One thing is that corruption will
never leave us if we don’t make
conscious effort to fight it. So, the
creation of the Special Prosecutor’s office
and the creation of the procurement law

are all conscious effort to minimise
corruption in the country,” Rev Abebrese
stated.
He called on Ghanaians to always
think about Ghana as the bigger entity
and “if one acquires all the wealth and
the country goes into bankruptcy, what
will happen to the individual.”
Rev Abebrese, therefore, called on all
Ghanaians to always think Ghana first by
ensuring that we secure the nation first.
According to
him, Ghana is
made up of 70%
Christians so if the
Christians alone
will sincerely step
up the fight
against corruption,
Ghana will be free
and the nation will

Pursue career in decor
BY RAMSON ACQUAH-HAYFORD
THE CHIEF Executive Officer (CEO)
of Kowak Events, Mrs Yaa Ofosuaa
Otu-Danquah, has encouraged men and
the unemployed youth to pursue interior
and exterior decoration as either full-time
or part-time career due to how lucrative
it is.
According to Madam Otu-Danquah,

THE FOUNDER of
Last Day Gospel
Church at Galelia, a
community near
Kasoa, Apostle
Abraham Kwaku
Duah, has cautioned Ghanaian youth
to resist the temptation of being
used by politicians to perpetrate
violence in the 2020 general election.
According to him, it is high time
the youth desisted from any attempt
by anybody, be him or her a
politician or a political apparatchik
from inciting them to go and insult
or beat anybody because of
elections.
Speaking at the December 31st
Crossover night on the theme, ‘My
Year of God’s Favour’, he said no
matter what politicians or anybody
against the popular notion that it is a
‘feminine career’, there are men who
have excelled in the field of event
decoration.
“My head of Creativity is a man. He
actually does the work on the ground --
setup, wrappings, etc so we should make
an effort to eradicate that notion from
our minds and encourage men and the
unemployed youth in general to learn the
craft of event decorations.”
She said this during the maiden dècor
would do, at the end there will be
only one winner.
“It is like an examination or a
race, one person must become a
victor,” he stated.
“As we started in 1992 in peace
through democratic election, we
should follow that tenet because no
one can use one day to develop a
city or nation,” he said.
Contrary to what other men of
God have prophesied that 2020 will
be a difficult year, Apostle Duah
said the year would be a good year
for all Ghanaians and so “we must
live in peace to enjoy it.”
He called on all Christians to
always preach peace and
brotherliness to ensure that all
Ghanaians would live to see the
good testimony the year would bring
to them.
Apostle Duah advised politicians
to always use the constitution as a

training of Kowak Event Kowak, which
came off at the event house’s head office
at Spintex, Accra, last Saturday.
She added that not only should the
unemployed learn the craft but the
employed too. She stated that “I know a
lot of people that have day jobs yet
executes events on a large scale. We even
have a secretary who has joined the class
today. So we encourage people to come
out to learn something during our next
event.”

The event brought together various
events decor professionals, practitioners
and enthusiasts from different
backgrounds.
Belinda Nifa, a participant in the
training, told the DAILY HERITAGE
that “I’ve learnt a lot; I’ve always had a
passion for décor. Sometimes when I see
the end product, I feel it is magic.
“I do not know the instructor very
much but she’s very accommodating. I’ve
always wanted the opportunity to have an
extra craft because we have got to the era
where (sic) only one source of salary
cannot satisfy all your expenses, so, even
if you have a job there should be another
source of income.”
Lastly she also encouraged the
unemployed youth to wake up, learn a
craft and get out of the state they find
themselves in because nobody would
fend for them if they do not do it
themselves.

The church was filled to capacity
at the Crossover night and the

God by singing and dancing to show
appreciation of what the Lord had
done for them in the past year.
“As we started in
1992 in peace

follow that tenet
because no one can

their productive years to raise
their children and contribute
to the socio-economic
development of the country.

respected, elderly people,
especially the women, are
neglected by their own
families and the communities
they lived in.
”It is a blessing to show
compassion to the aged and
the less privileged in society
and I wish all members of
the public would treat the
aged well,” she said.

an interview with DAILY
