The Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said one of the key hindrances to fulfilling God’s purpose on earth is corruption.
He said corruption inhibited economic growth and affected business operations, employment and investments.
“It also reduces tax revenue and the effectiveness of various financial assistance programmes. The wider society is influenced by a high degree of corruption, thereby lowering trust in the rule of law, governance and consequently the quality of life,” he added.
The Vice-President was speaking at the 59th annual session of the Ghana Baptist Convention in Ejura in the Ashanti Region. The session was on the theme: “Fulfilling God’s purpose, growing God’s church”.
