The moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey, has expressed disgust about homosexuality, with a call on President John Dramani Mahama to boldly come out to declare his stand on the homosexual debate.

Since some of the president’s predecessors had publicly declared their stands on the legalization of homosexuality, it was crucial that he also made his position clear, the moderator pointed out.

Rt. Rev. Prof. Martey noted that the president’s silence on the issue raised several unanswered questions, stating that the president must know that Ghana is a Christian country and that Christianity frowns on homosexuality.

Rt. Rev. Martey expressed the concern last Saturday in his message of exhortation as the special guest during the commissioning of the Trinity Community Hospital at Zenu in the Kpone-Katamanso district of Accra.

The 50-bed capacity hospital, estimated at GH¢1million, was a partnership project between the Community Hospital Group (TCH Group), a private entity and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Trinity Congregation, Community 4, Tema.

It is expected to serve residents of Lebanon, Atadeka, Zenu, Kubekro, Katamanso, Apollonia and the surrounding communities.

The moderator indicated that the country’s economy is in tatters as a result of the president’s inability to confidently condemn the abominable act, coupled with unbridled corruption perpetrated by some public officials.

The moderator was of the view that the president could have solved the energy crisis but he continues to do things that rather aggravate the anger of God.

He believed that when the leadership of the country was able to do things right, the blessings of the Lord would befall the nation.

Rt. Rev. Prof. Martey noted that Ghana has also been overtaken by the energy crisis because of poor planning, stating that “Strategic planning is very crucial for having a better country.”

Mr. Akwasi Acquah, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the TCH Group, noted that his outfit’s partnership with the Presbyterian Church was a test case of private-public partnership deal.

Rev. Dr. Isaac K. Fokuo, the Tema North District Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, entreated staff who would be working at the health facility to exhibit high standard of professionalism in the delivery of healthcare and uphold a good maintenance culture.
