The Bono Regional Youth Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress-NDC, Efo Worlanyo Tsekpo is asking the Metropolitan Archbishop of Cape Coast, Charles Palmer-Buckle where the hungry and unemployed youth are going to get the money to contribute towards the building of the national cathedral.
The Bishop is reported in the media to have said that Ghanaians should ignore the hardships in the country and contribute towards the building of the 350 million dollar National Cathedral.
The bishop argued that God asked Moses to build Tabernacle at the time that Israelis were in the desert and had no food to eat.
Like many Ghanaians, Efo Worlany disagrees with him asking “Where will the unemployed Youth get the money from? Where will the hungry sheep get the money from?”
“My Bishop, am sorry God himself will not be happy to hear this from his Shepherd. Because he said the Shepherd should care for his sheep. And if even one of the sheep is lost the Shepherd goes after it but with this time eight (8) of these sheep were murdered and you cared not. Where is the love, where is the compassion?” – he added.
Read his full statement:
Dear Bishop Bubunator,
GOD WILL BE HAPPY IF WE BUILD MORE HOSPITALS TO SAVE HIS SHEEP THAN A CATHEDRAL.
Your Holiness, Your sheep are hungry, they are dying, they are unemployed and all we could hear is that they should ignore their hunger and unemployment status, the unbearable hardship they are going through which the Catholic Bishop Conference echoed to Government recently and still contribute to building a cathedral?
Where will the unemployed Youth get the money from? Where will the hungry sheep get the money from?
The Youngmen in Techiman, Banda, Nkrankwanta who were killed by Nana Addo, their parents did not hear a word from you. Your holiness, they were ignored, they went through the pain alone. Mother Theresa said we should feed the poor, help the sick, comfort those who are sad. She didn’t ask us to tax them while they are going through all these pains to build a cathedral for God that is even someone’s personal pledge to God.
Today those affected families can’t feed themselves because is their breadwinners that were killed and all we could tell them is for them to ignore their hardship, forget their pain and contribute to a personal pledge of building a cathedral that the murderer of these people made to God.
My Bishop, am sorry God himself will not be happy to hear this from his Shepherd. Because he said the Shepherd should care for his sheep. And if even one of the sheep is lost the Shepherd goes after it but with this time eight (8) of these sheep were murdered and you cared not. Where is the love, where is the compassion?
God will be happy for us to build more hospitals to save COVID-19 patients(His sheep,) and Shepherds like John Dramani Mahama built the magnificent GA East Hospital where you gave your testimony as COVID-19 survivor.
Your Lordship, Moses who built the tabernacle for God did not promote LGBTQ+, he did not collapse people’s businesses to make them poor, he didn’t sleep with Serwaa Broni, He did not inflate prices of COVID-19 vaccines, he didn’t terrorize his people with the army, he did not live a luxurious life, in fact, Moses was not corrupt so God was happy with him when he decided to lead his people to build a tabernacle for him.
Lastly My Bishop, we were told by the Bible that when Moses was with the Israelites on the desert in the wilderness, they were Never hungry because God fed them with manna free of charge and protected them with pillars of clouds during the day and pillars of fire during at night so that no murderer could kill eight of them like Nana Addo did in the 2020 Election. So they had a sound mind to contribute to building the Tabernacle for God.
May the Lord continue to be our guide and May His Holy Name be Praised.
