Reverend Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana said this is not the first time government is making such moves to sponsor them for the religious exercise. We told those coordinating that persons who want to embark on the pilgrimage should do that on their own accord. We thank government for the offer but the Christian Council of Ghana, the Catholic Bishops Conference and the Ghana Charismatic Pentecostal Councils will not accept their offer”, he revealed on Okay Fm. What we rather expect government to do is national facilitations under the guise of protocol arrangements will be accepted.
