Founder of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, says wining the fight against corruption is conditioned on a total change in Ghanaian attitudes.
In a sermon to his congregation Sunday, the baritoned charismatic leader said people who scream about fighting corruption in society should be careful what they wish for.
“We need to be very careful as a society. Sometimes when we talk about corruption, corruption, corruption if we want to correct corruption, we have to jail everybody”, he said.
The charismatic leader said corruption festers in Ghana because “we have wrong belief systems”
“It is the way society is made up”, he argued.
His comments was part of a sermon on the topic ‘Don’t fight the process”. He explained that people need to prepare to go through the mill so they can handle success when it happens.
“Life is a process, if you miss the process, if you miss preparation you will become a danger to society”.
Using Ghana’s politics to illustrate his point, the Archbishop observed that meritocracy has been thrown to the dogs.
He said to occupy political office, a person “be loud, learn the skill of arguing on radio and you have to learn how to insult people effectively”.
If a person masters these skills his party rewards him with an appointment “whether you have been through process or not, whether after school you have established business, build a house ,earn salary, pay taxes, done something with your life or not”.
Archbishop Duncan Williams said people who have not saved a $1,000 before are signing contracts worth $10m and so get intoxicated by power and pecks.
“You have security. You have a garden boy. You have two armed men, one in the morning, one in the evening.  You have a diplomatic passport, you are traveling nations”
He said the exposure to an unsustainable lifestyle forces the politician “do everything to maintain that lifestyle”
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams said the politician who tries to revert to a modest lifestyle runs the risk of being poisoned by his wife who has become used to a good life.

  2. CORRUPTION and SIN which is the source or the branch?
    I think it’s about winning; as a man of God the command is to stop sinning deliberately and tell others to do the same.That’s why is an unending preaching against sin and an unending preaching God’s love.When believers of Jesus Christ obey his commandments then we become overcomers of sin and joy in God’s Kingdom.So also when corruption in the society or country is minimized the people and government rejoices for the prosperity and reduction of poverty.So let’s not speak for any of the two in any form but condemned it at any occasion as saint Paul and our Lord did in their life time.NO COMPROMISE but encourage and support the gospel against corruption.

    Shalom.
