The Methodist Bishop of Accra, the Rt Rev. Samuel Kofi Osabutey, has called on Ghanaians to be thankful to God for the governance system they are enjoying, although there is still much to be done to improve it.
The bishop made the call in a sermon at the burial service for the late former President Jerry John Rawlings at the Black Star Square in Accra yesterday. Was Jerry a saint? Certainly not; Jerry was a sinner who took the risk to attempt to right the wrongs of society as he perceived them. Being a sinner, then, one can understand and forgive those excesses of the regime he led. As we reflect on his life and legacy, we should at least be thankful to God for the governance system we are now all enjoying, he added.
