He averred the weakness of the state broadcaster to function meritoriously in delivery of quality contents for public consumption could be blamed on lack of funds. “GBC is our very own and it behooves on all of us to make it function to our satisfaction by ensuring that we pay our TV licence regularly”.

“Before I got married to my wife 11 years ago, I've heard people telling me all kinds of nasty things. Not to talk about the discouragement I even got from my church leaders. But I said to myself, since I'm even called Thomas, I'll try and play the doubting Thomas in the Bible just to doubt the things they were saying.

The General Overseer of Enriching Lives Ministries in the Central Region, Rev. Obed Danquah, has observed it is better for government to place its priorities on enacting laws to purge the religious terrain of greed and corruption and other improprieties which have rocked the nation in recent times in a bid to help create ‘God’s holy temple’ in Ghana rather than focusing attention on construction of a national cathedral. According to him, there’s nothing wrong with government being part of God’s work provided it has the requisite financial strength to execute the task.
