THE National President of the Young People's Guide (YPG) of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Mr Samuel Opare, has pleaded with politicians to stop politicising national and development issues.
According to him, most often when you listened to leaders you wondered whether they were worth their salt.
“They always present two truths with each side insisting the other is lying. This is, therefore, the NDC truth and the NPP truth,” he added.
Mr Opare was addressing the 71st conference of the YPG of the PCG in Wa in the Upper West Region.
Commenting on the recent government decision to revert the period of senior high school (SHS) from four to three years, he said “even though I did my Master’s programme in education, I do not claim to be an expert in that area yet".
“However, as a young person, I am deeply concerned about this decision," he stressed.
Mr Opare recalled that the previous administration introduced the new educational programme starting from September, 2007 and questioned whether such a programme could be assessed when its first graduates were yet to be produced.
“I was part of those who were used to start the then new junior secondary school (JSS) system in the late 1980's; I can still remember the difficulty we had to go through and the problems faced by me and most of my friends whose lives were completely disrupted by some of these politically expedient decisions,” he said.
Mr Opare thanked Ghanaians for ensuring a peaceful election in December, last year.
He proposed that the PCG should ordain ministers on contract basis instead of life-long service.
