Rev. Dr. James Mensah, a founding member of the National Association of Clergy says pastors are afraid of losing their daily bread under President Akufo-Addo, a reason for their seeming silence on ills in his government.
Speaking to Kwabena Agyapong on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5fm, he noted that men of God must be bold to commend and criticise government devoid of any bias, attacks or insults; rather constructive criticism.
“When they perform well, commend them but if they go wayward, criticize them. Those who have refused to criticize as they did in the past are afraid they will lose their daily bread. Those men of God do not want to lose those benefits so they have refused to talk. That is how I see it. If a government came and you criticized them but there is a change of government and yet, you cannot talk, then it means they wanted their government to take over. The government has taken over and so whether good or bad, they will not talk. They are like sycophants and not credible,” he said.
