“The Pervasive Moral Decay Is The Cause Of Ghana’s Problems”

Most Reverend Joseph Kwaku Afrifah-Agyekum

The Vice President of the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa (RECOWA) and Bishop of the Koforidua Diocese in the Eastern Region, Most Reverend Joseph Kwaku Afrifah-Agyekum, asserts that moral decadence appears to be the root cause of many of Ghana’s current difficulties.

According to him, the destructive practice of galamsey and the contentious issue of LGBTQ rights in the country are two pressing issues that have led to the Bishop’s identification.

Most Reverend Joseph Kwaku Afrifah-Agyekum made a direct connection between Ghana’s problems and the widespread moral decay there.

At the Catholic University of Ghana’s 23rd Graduation and 34th Matriculation ceremony in Fiapre, near Sunyani in the Bono region, he talked more on these topics.

The Bishop, who is also Chairman of the Governing Council of the Catholic University (CUG), expressed deep concern about the negative effects of immoral behavior.

He mentioned galamsey, or illegal mining, and issue of LGBTQ rights, describing them as a societal menace that goes against traditional moral values.

He stated,

“What used to be an abomination is now being disseminated by the rich and the powerful including even states, we live in the world where we’re being told that lesbianism and LGBTQ+ are okay, where pornography is becoming the norm” he said.

He urged Ghanaians, particularly university graduates, not to support practices that go against the country’s religious and cultural norms. He pleaded with them not to succumb to these vices.

After commending the graduates for completing their coursework, Sir Professor Daniels Obeng-Ofori, Vice Chancellor of the CUG, urged them not to engage in immoral LBTQI+ practices that could prevent them from realizing their goals.

There were a total of 1,236 graduates, including graduates and postgraduate students, who received their degrees on time and successfully completed their studies.

The matriculation oath, which requires students to maintain good standing throughout their time at the Catholic University, was taken by 1,745 matriculants this year, which included 837 undergraduates and 399 postgraduates.
