Rev Prof Emmanuel Martey explains leadership of the country will not fight corruption and under-development because they benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Foundation stone and dedication of a Church building for the Kwadaso Trinity Congregation in Kumasi, Rev Martey queried why the country in its over fifty years of existence still lacks a national development blue print.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to be told as true the biblical cliche that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We need wisdom to rule this country,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Where are the wise men he shouted at the congregation most of whom poured out in laughter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we do not take care our action may rather go to promote the \u00a0Godlessness of other nations and world leaders to our own interest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will promote their devilish agenda,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px;clear:both;\">\n<div style=\"padding:5px;background-color: #eee;\"><b>Comments:<\/b><br \/>This article has <b>0<\/b> comment,  leave your comment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#13;\n\t\t\t    \t<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-212765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212765\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
