Our ‘Bad Culture’ Stifling the Development of Our Country – Agyinasare
Founder and presiding Bishop of Perez Chapel International, Charles Agyinasare, has blamed the culture and attitude of Ghanaians as part of the reasons for the stagnant growth and economic development of the country.
Speaking on Joy FM’s A Walk With Jesus on Sunday, he said the attitude of nepotism and the Ghanaian culture of ‘Just let it go’ accounts for the country’s underdevelopment.
He added that the desire of some government officials to amass wealth immediately after they assume office has also contributed to the country’s economic crisis.
“Somebody steals in the office you want to apply punitive measures but culture doesn’t allow it…At dawn, you will have the Chief of the town and probably with the guy’s Bishop and somebody you really respect, and by the time they sit with you and tell you just let it go. You don’t want to disrespect them so you go back. The guy has stolen but you keep him there because of senior people. Our culture doesn’t help.
“We also see people get into some professions and suddenly in four years they seem to have made great wealth,” he said.
