to enrich the lives of the community and beyond," he remarked.

To the Church, Prof Ocquaye admonished them to be mindful of the dangers of homosexuality and lesbianism, which had crept gradually into the society.

On the needs of the Taifa Community, Prof. Ocquaye was not happy with the delay in the commissioning of an ICT project, saying he was holding discussions with District Directorate of Education to ensure that work was expedited.

The MP renewed his pledge to put up a Police Station and an accommodation for at least five Police personnel in the community.

To this end, the MP said GH¢30,000 has now been set aside for the Police station complex in order to nib crime in the bud.

Reverend Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, Senior Pastor of CBC said the project was in fulfillment of the dream of Rev. Dr. Rodney D. Waller, the Pastor of the First African Baptist Church, who had visited Ghana in 2004 and on seeing the needs of Ghanaians, decided to support them. Taifa Community was therefore chosen to receive the potable water project.

He noted that although Taifa was eight miles away from Accra, it had not seen water running through pipelines for 22 years despite several attempts made by successive governments.

Rev. Adu-Gyamfi, who branded the projects as part of the Church's social responsibility said: 93We can say that preaching of the gospel will be incomplete when the needs of the poor, the have nots, and marginalized and the down trodden are neglected."

He therefore entreated those selling water in the community not to see the project as a threat to their business.

According to him, the Church had been engaging in free medical screening, street lights as wells as road repairs so motorist could have easy access to their homes, but pointed out that the recent flood had made their roads almost impassable.

Rev. Adu-Gyamfi, therefore, appealed to the MP, Unit Committee Members and government to take a look at their roads noting the construction of roads was beyond the means of the Church.

He said the Church was going to provide free used clothing, food, games and counseling once a week for the less privileged within the community.

"It is our hope that all and sundry will support especially our market women when our food programme begins from the middle of 2011 to help place one good meal a week to the disposal of the needy among us."

The Church presented plaque and a parcel to Deacon Robinson Booker Jones Junior and Sister Deborah Booker, members of the First African Baptist Church, who witnessed the commissioning of the project.
