The taxpayers of National Capital District, under the leadership of NCD Governor Powes Parkop, this week recognized and supported the contribution of United Church in NCD and Central Province with a donation of new 15-seater bus.
Presenting the bus key to representatives of the United Church’s Urban Region wing in front of the City Hall on Monday, Governor Parkop encouraged the church to keep spreading the gospel in the two provinces.
Noting the importance of Gospel in communities, Governor Parkop said it taught the people good values and moral principles which are critical for nation building.
Governor Parkop stated that the challenges in the city were not so much about the economy, resources, infrastructure, or services.
“The biggest challenge is the low values and principles guiding us, both in leadership and in our people,” a concerned Parkop said.
The city and entire country has potential to be a great if the people respect and appreciate each other, he said.
“We have to also understand the privilege we have on earth. We have moral and ethical values and virtues so that we overcome this biggest challenge we have here in the city and our country as a whole,” he said.
Governor Parkop stated the he would continue to support the churches in NCD and Central Province to allow them to continue reaching out to the people in spreading the Gospel and providing other essential services.
Thanking Governor Parkop, Reverend Jacob Harry; “It is an honor receiving this gift that will allow us to reach out to all our people in the city and into Central province spreading the gospel.”
“Spreading the gospel will install our people with high values, right guiding principles that will make our country great.”
Deputy Governor and MKA Chairman, Hon. Dadi Toka Jnr was present as well to witness the occasion.
