New Tafo District of the Church of Pentecost Cleans Krofrom

The New Tafo District of the Church of Pentecost is the last in the New Tafo Area to climax their Environmental Care Campaign on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at the environs of Krofrom in the Ashanti Region.

Districts under the Area partook in the sanitary instalment from the 24-29th February yet due to the final funeral rites of former Kumasi Mayor and Royal, Nana Akwasi Agyemang at Kumasi Krofrom, the activity was postponed into the second week of March.

The Environmental Care Campaign, which is planned to tackle and instill in members the discipline to be physically responsible and involved in the care and cleaning of the surroundings, has been one of the visions of the Church of Pentecost under the guidance of the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye to possess the Nation as Agents of Transformation.

Per the directives of the Church, the New Tafo District held stakeholders meeting before conducting a grand Environmental Care Campaign durbar on Thursday, March 12, 2020 at the M.K Yeboah church auditorium. The Ghana Fire Service, Prisons, and Zoomlion officers were there to give a talk on sanitation together with Headmasters from a few schools. Assembly members of CPC, Odumase, Dichemso and Krofrom availed themselves to educate the congregation and make the gathering worthwhile.

Led by the District Pastor and Wife, Rev. Seth and Margaret Dwamena Asante and the Assembly members joined by a few executives of the Manhyia New Patriotic Party, the cleanup exercise begun on Saturday morning on the streets of Krofrom.

Attendants cleaned the main streets and freed the choked gutters along the  Krofrom Suame roundabout road whiles the women and young ladies swept the streets and filled the potholes with sand extracted from the congested gutters.

The most challenging place of work was behind the Krofrom Total Filling Station where a principal gutter was entirely blocked for years leaving no room for rainwater to pass through.

It easily created flood on the street whenever there was a heavy downpour yet shoe sellers behind were not moved to partake in the activities when the church stripped off all the waste to free the water way.

The District Pastor of New Tafo, Rev. Seth Dwamena Asante entreated the agents of transformation to educate people who litter the surroundings to adopt the habit of hygiene. He updated that the District will collaborate with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly to educate members from the month of April to June on littering and crude dumping of waste, hand washing, handling of plastics, Noise pollution, sanitation and by-laws and many other topics to renew minds against hygiene.

“Sanitation must be enforced in our personal evangelism as a church in the coming months. It is our mandate as a church and we are all entitled to employ the needed measures to make hygiene a key in the progress of nation building,” he added.

Rev. Seth Dwamena advised the gathering on the pandemic COVID-19 and counseled all to desist from handshakes and unnecessary hugging. He entreated members to abide by the preventive measures outlined by the World Health Organization in order to stay safe from the global crises.

“We must avoid handshakes for now and put an end to embraces. The frequent washing of hands with soap by tap water is also needful.

“Let’s be practical and quit employing the blood of Jesus in this. This is the theory of water and soap and we must adapt to the measures as prescribed from qualified professionals,” he said.

Officers of the district were content with the activity and acknowledged their leaders for the inventive ideas to possess the nation through sanitization.
