Don’t wait for the government to address you on the need to keep clean environment before you do so – Pastor to Ghanaians.
Head Pastor of the Mo Mary Fellowship sited at Kumasi Ampayoo in the Ashanti region, Rev David Armstrong has expressed worry that sickness though continue to be the major challenges in the society, people take less care to keep clean environment.
Ghanaians always depends on the government to clean up their environment, a situation the clergy finds it unusual since the scriptures have spoken against unclean environment in several occasions.
We go to churches and mosques everyday and lean about the important role environment plays in humans life, yet we pretend to be dumbs and do things that go contrary to the environmental laws.
In an interview with the correspondent, Rev David Armstrong observed that it is true that as government, it is the responsibility of the government to see to it that clean environment is enforced, yet as normal human beings we should first consider ourselves that poor environment kills and the need for us to take the lead and keep clean environment for our own benefit.
The pastor noted that many people pollute the environment with impunity, as they take less care to protect and maintain the system.
The man of God indicated that the millions of cedis that government uses to import medicines to patients in the hospitals can be channelled to support other sectors of the economy if we adopt good habits to keep clean environment to avoid any kind of disease outbreak in the society.
Armstrong on this note ,called on the government to come out with measures that could punish citizens who would be caught in the acts of polluting or violating the environmental laws.
Concluding that without such measures Ghanaians would risk to remain poor environment that would lead to many deaths in the years ahead.
