Church leaders are to blame for moral decadence in the society, so says a popular cleric, Rt. Rev. Samuel Prosper Dzomeku.

Moderator of the Global Evangelical Church in Ghana, Rt. Rev Dzomeku said they are also to blame for the scarcity of honest leadership in the country.

According to him, moral decadence is also an issue in churches as lifestyles of majority of Ghanaians who profess Christianity have lifestyles that do not reflect the lifestyles of Jesus Christ.

This, he said had led to a complete breakdown of morality in the country.

“The recent Population and Housing Census puts the population of Christians at more than 70 percent, a situation which should reflect in the lives of the church and church leadership, but we only witness the contrary”, Ghana Graphic quoted the cleric as saying.
