The Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church of Ghana (CAC), Apostle Abraham Amoh has called for the total amount paid as ex-gratia to all Article 71 beneficiaries to be reduced to a third of any amount paid to them in the past.

He explained that that the current economic situation in the country and the rest of the world does not support such payments.

According to him, in a nation that is striving to recover from huge economic challenges arising from Covid-19 and the hardships from the Russian-Ukraine war, there is a need for all to sacrifice a bit to save the nation’s economy from a total collapse.

The Chairman appealed to all Ghanaians to contribute their quota towards the restructuring of the nation’s debt by making some sacrifices to save the economy from a shutdown.

He again appealed to traders and operators of businesses to ensure that they do not increase their prices too high, since it would in the long run affect all Ghanaians.

Apostle Abraham Amoh, eulogised President Akufo-Addo, for the various interventions he has introduced.

Apostle Abraham Amoh described the initiatives as positive, which are gradually shaping the fortunes of the nation.

He explained that interventions such as the national digitalisation project, the Ghana Card, the establishment of the Zongo Development Fund, the creation of the six new regions, the distribution of ambulances to all Districts Hospitals, the peaceful resolution of the boundary disputes and equipping the security service as well as the introduction of the Free Senior High Schools among other initiatives, are driving the development of the nation.

Speaking to the media in Kumasi on Sunday, Apostle Amoh was upbeat that the various initiatives of the government, when allowed to continue for some years, would go a long way to transform the nation.

The CAC Chairman indicated that the rolling out of the interventions is among the best things that keep on promoting the development of the country.
