Right Rev Daniel Kwasi Tannor, Bishop of the Sunyani Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana has stated that the insatiable appetite for money in the Ghanaian society has clouded the senses of Judgement of many people.

He said this at the 44th annual Synod of the church held at the Freeman Methodist at Berekum on Friday April 28.

The Bishop explained that, both adults and youth behave in many irresponsible ways.

He indicated that, some of our chiefs and family heads plunder and squander resources and property entrusted into their hands. Sometimes, one piece of land can be sold to more than one person.

"Shop attendants are so ungodly that they steal and falsify records at their posts. The least said about our market women and food vendors who sell unwholesome commodities to the citizenry the better it would be for the itching ear."

He added, most political overloads and in recent years men and women in religious roves are neck deep buried in wanton theft.

"Quite worrying is the rate at which both management and workers engage in large scale looting and malfeasance to collapse businesses set up by government and private individuals", Bishop Tannor emphasized.

He added, "Prospective businesses no longer show interest in establishing businesses to help alleviate the massive unemployment situation in our country. The reason is, they stand a risk of losing their life time earnings."

"Just ponder a while about women who skilfully retool metal cans to tip the weighing scales in their favour to rob their unsuspecting customers."

"Artisans are downright untrustworthy. They live by deception and pilfer building materials and do shoddy work in the end. There is the urgent need to embark upon moral revolution to save our nation from the clutches of materialism", he stressed.

Bishop Kwasi Tannor also appealed to the Municipal and District Assemblies to help provide accommodation to the staff of the various Methodist clinics at Kwakuanya, Yawsae, Asuakwaa, Dagyamem and Kyekyerewere, adding that they are confronted with accommodation problems. He said, the Diocesan Office has helped Kwakuanya clinic to repair their pickup to facilitate operations.

Following the death of the Bishop-elect, Very Rev Seth Afful Sackey, the 44th synod will elect a new Bishop to begin work on 1st October, 2023.

The Bishop admonished members of Synod to move away from unhealthy and carnal politics of acrimony and text messages that seek to destroy people they consider as opponents.
