District Pastor for the Presbyterian Church in Goaso, Ahafo Region, Rev Paul Oduro Sarfo, has urged the media to take a stance against politicians who promote violence during elections.
Rev Sarfo emphasized that violence has no place in the democratic process, and the media has a crucial role in reporting on politicians’ statements in a manner that does not incite violence or foster division.
“I plead with reporters that if they invite any politician to the studio or speak to them through a phone call and they say anything that will not lead to a peaceful election, please know how to report it,” he said.
Rev. Paul Oduro Sarfo made the call for the media to take a stand against politicians promoting violence during elections while the Presbyterian Church conducted prayers for the country.
Speaking to Adom News, Rev. Oduro Sarfo emphasized that the state of the country is influenced by the outcomes of elections.
“If there is peace in the country, everything goes on well,” he stated.
