A group of concerned youth and members of the Resurrection Power New Generation Church is demanding sweeping reforms and increased transparency in the administration of the church following the death of its founder, Rev. Anthony Kwadwo Boakye.
At a press conference held in Accra, the group urged the current leadership to implement proper governance structures and to bar all suspended executives from participating in church activities. This, they say, is critical to restoring calm and rebuilding trust among the congregation.
The calls for reform follow a vote of no confidence in four executives of the church who have been accused of embezzlement and misappropriation of funds. The controversy has led to ongoing litigation as members push for accountability and a full financial audit.
Youth Leader Thelma Gyima addressed the media, calling on the church’s leadership to initiate a thorough audit of the church’s finances within 90 days. According to her, this will help ensure transparency and demonstrate the church’s commitment to good governance.
Convener of the group, Bright Asare Sampson, also appealed to security agencies to provide protection at the church’s premises to maintain peace and ensure the uninterrupted functioning of church services and activities.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to the spiritual and organizational well-being of the church and called on all members to support efforts aimed at reforming the institution.
