Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Dr George Akuffo Dampare and Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah and others lift up their hands up in praise of God.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare has urged the Chairman of JOSPONG Group of Companies, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, to look beyond the challenges and criticisms the company faces and stay focused to provide developmental solutions to national problems.

The IGP made this call when he joined the JOSPONG Group of Companies to praise God at its annual Thanksgiving Services on Friday, December 9, 2022 at Nmai-Dzorn near Ashaley-Botwe in Accra.

Speaking as the Guest of Honour on the theme; “Celebrating God’s Goodness,” Dr Dampare charged the Chairman of JOSPONG Group to dust off unnecessary criticism and remain focused in whatever he is doing to bring solutions to the ultimate needs of the country.

While commending the JOSPONG GROUP for the effort made over the years to bring innovative developmental interventions and for continuing to dedicate the work to God, the IGP decried what he said was the failure and laxity of Christians to turn what he termed ‘theoretical Christianity’ into practice.

He said the principle of commitment to God held on for many years has not only propelled Dr. Agyepong to just a praying Christian, it has transformed that into beneficial, productive ventures, saying, “We have come very far.”

Dr. Dampare found it very difficult to understand why Ghana has remained the way it is while it is said that 70% of the population are Christians.

He said theoretical Christianity has accounted for the country’s current state.

He indicated that Ghana’s position as a consumption nation has done no good to her, especially when countries the nation embarked on development with, have progressed considerably.

The IGP wondered why the citizenry prefer to theorize rather than practice their faith, a situation he said is retarding both individuals and nation at large, explaining that it is also to the detriment of future generations.

“If after prayer, you can think about eating, then it means everything is not prayer”, Dr. Dampare stressed.

The week-long thanksgiving service is on the theme: “Celebrating God’s Goodness”.

The event attracted a number of personalities including the immediate past Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Ghana, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, the immediate past General Secretary of the Church of Pentecost, Ghana, Apostle Dr. Alfred Koduah (rtd), a number of MPs past and present, chiefs and queen mothers.

The Executive Chairman of the JGC, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong used the opportunity to thank everyone who sympathised with him during the death and burial of his late father.

Speaking on the current challenges that confront the country, including the harsh economic challenges and high fuel prices affecting every facet of life, he assured Ghanaians that with a committed attitude, the fortunes of the country could be turned around.

He said the current situation should spur the country to do more with home-grown policies while completely curtailing the excessive appetite for importation.
