Should Ghana Set Up A Ministry For Religion?

Religion is growing at an appreciable speed in Ghana. More than 98 percent of the country�s total population now belongs to one form of religion or the other, according to the 2010 population and Housing census report. The figure represents more than 6 percent jump from the 2000 census figures. But as the country becomes more religious, there seem to be a growing moral decadence. Ghanaians as spiritual as they are, have relied on spiritual leaders for directions. One may therefore ask, should President Mahama set up a ministry to deal with the rising moral problems as he sets up his government? Meanwhile the country�s political leaders have been called upon to seek the guidance of prophets and men of God in prosecuting their vision once they�ve won elections. Some religious leaders predicts that Ghana could be a very prosperous nation if apply the principles of God in our governance.
