Protect freedom of worship, prevent faith-based discrimination — Mahama charges Ayariga

President John Dramani Mahama has directed the newly appointed Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, to protect freedom of worship and ensure that no Ghanaian is marginalised because of their faith or ethnicity.

According to President Mahama, Ghana’s religious and cultural diversity must be harnessed to strengthen national unity rather than become a source of division.

President Mahama noted that Mr Ayariga’s responsibility for chieftaincy and religious affairs would require wisdom, patience and impartiality.
