He urged Ghanaians to contribute their quota towards development by paying their taxes and fulfilling other social commitments. Rev. John Kwabena Boachie, Superintendent Minister in charge of the Old Tafo Gospel Centre Assemblies of God, called on Ghanaians to pray against moral decadence, breaking of family system, poverty disease and famine.
