The Chairman of the JOSPONG group of Companies, Dr. Joseph Siaw wants leaders of political parties to be mindful of their campaign messages and be very decorous with their utterances ahead of the November election.
He made the comment in an interview with Citi News after the opening, of a Weeklong Leadership Conference in Gomoa in the Central region.
November’s Election has been described by many as a crucial one which will decide the turn of events in the country in the coming years.
The conference, which is under the theme, ‘Creating an excellent service delivery culture, a service leader’s role,’ brought together senior and managerial staff of the Jospong Group of Companies to deliberate on how to steer the affairs of the companies in the coming months.
Various speakers including Dr. Mario Denton from South Africa, Bishop James Saah of the Action Chapel, Daniel Asiedu, Managing Director of Zenith Bank and Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyina, Chairman of the Pentecost Church addressed the gathering.
Speaking after the opening of the conference, Dr. Siaw indicated that it is only through the message of peace that will minimize the tension that characterizes elections in the country.
He stated, “this is not the first time that we are having an election, but this one is a crucial one. We should take our utterances very serious and be mindful that they will not cause any public uproar or tension in the country.”
“For this reason we should be preaching the message of peace. Any leader who will stand anywhere and on any platform should be decorous. They should not try to instigate and instruct their youth groups to ferment any trouble in the country. Ghana is the only country we have.”
