The purpose of the visit was to officially introduce the newly elected executives of the church to the Speaker and to invite him to the induction ceremony of the General Superintendent and the outdooring of the Executive Presbytery Officers on 25 February, 2023 in Accra.
Rev Stephen Wengam called for greater unity among all political players to help resolve the myriads of problems confronting Ghana, especially the current economic crises.
He also emphasised the need for all to unite to fight corruption. Welcoming the delegation, the Speaker of Parliament, Right Honourable Alban Bagbin stressed the need for the church and the state to partner and improve the lives and prospects of all Ghanaians.
He said Parliament will continue to represent the citizenry to deepen democracy and reminded the church not to relent on its efforts to speak truth to power.
