THE congregation of the Adweso Calvary Methodist Church in the New Juaben Municipality, at the weekend, honoured Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo Jnr, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Microtechnical, an Accra-based civil engineering and landscaping company.
The company has pre-financed the construction of the first phase of the church building at a cost of GH¢90,000, which the church would repay within two years under a flexible term.
Preaching the sermon at a service attended by a large congregation, including Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo, Member of Parliament (MP) for Akyem Oda and father of Osafo-Maafo Jnr, the Bishop of the Koforidua Diocese of the Methodist Church, Rt Rev. Frederick Nnuro, urged those in government not to be discouraged by destructive criticisms, but to remain focused and continue with their good work in the interest of the country.
The bishop said administering a country was a difficult task. He, therefore, assured those in political leadership positions of the church of continued prayers for them, so that they would be able to execute their duties in the best interest of the people.
He advised people who had worked tirelessly without recognition not to be discouraged, but should continue to serve the people, adding that God would recognise their efforts and accord them the necessary reward.
Mr Osafo-Maafo, for his part, expressed his appreciation to the church for recognising the contribution of his son on the construction of the chapel and honouring him, saying that had reflected on the Osafo-Maafo family.
Ghana, according to Osafo-Maafo, had reached a stage where praises must be given to those who deserved it.
He, however, disagreed with people, who had expressed reservations about the recent government intervention to bring relief to the people in the wake of soaring prices of food items and petroleum products.
