GEC urge government and institutions to maintain freedom and justice

The Global Evangelical Church has called on government and institutions responsible for administering justice to put in place pragmatic measures to make freedom and justice a reality in the country.

This is contained in  communique issued by the church at the end of its 2012 Synod in Accra.

The church tasked government to do everything possible to demystify the administration of justice so that the ordinary citizen may have confidence in the process for national development.

It said government needs to provide adequate logistics to the security services to sustain their effort in combating crime in the country.

The Synod Clerk Reverend Prince Tefe, lauded the security services for their bold and swift efforts at combating armed robbery and other heinous crimes.

Government was also commended for its efforts and quick interventions to control volatile communal violence and conflicts in certain parts of the country.

The communique charged the Electoral Commission and political parties to ensure peaceful, free, fair and transparent elections and advised politicians to conduct the electioneering  devoid of insults  and personal attacks.

The communiqué expressed appreciation to the media for their contribution towards national development and advised them to promote a healthy national discourse instead of creating an atmosphere that threatens the peace and stability of the country.
