Perez Chapel International has bemoaned what it has described as a culture of silence that has become existent in Ghana.
The church in a statement noted that persons who speak out against ills in Ghanaian society are subjected to attacks.
“It is a known fact that if one dares to speak about the ills of society, attack dogs are readily unleashed to sustain the crippling culture of silence in our dear country,” the statement said.
Bishop Charles Agyinasare caught the attention of the media following his strongly worded sermon that suggested the collapse of some Ghanaian banks and financial institutions were done maliciously.
“The truth is that in Ghana, we are more tolerant to foreign companies than Ghanaian owned companies,” the respected clergyman said in a video seen by dreamzfmonline.com.
His comments however triggered some accusations against him on social media over his alleged contribution to the collapse of FirsTrust Savings & Loans Company and the GN Bank.
“I am to state on authority that Bishop Charles Agyinasare has never applied for nor secured any loan from the collapsed FirsTrust Savings & Loans Company and the GN Bank,” the statement signed by Apostle Raymond Acquah, Administrative Bishop, Perez Chapel International said.
While admitting that Bishop Charles Agyinasare was one time Board Chairman of FirsTrust Savings & Loans Company, the statement stressed that “Bishop Charles Agyinasare NEVER applied for nor ever received a loan from FirsTrust Savings & Loans, either before, during or after his Chairmanship of the Board of FirsTrust Savings & Loans.”
“Bishop Charles Agyinasare or the church he presides over has NEVER applied for nor ever received a loan from GN Bank or FirsTrust Savings & Loans,” it added.
