President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC), Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, has expressed concern that Ghana’s moral and democratic foundation is being eroded by deep-seated inequality, corruption, and recurring acts of violence.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Plenary Assembly of the GCBC held at the Unity Centre in Damongo on Monday, November 10, 2025, Most Rev. Gyamfi said that while Ghana continues to be admired globally as a beacon of democracy and peace, this reputation masks a troubling undercurrent of moral and social decay.
“Ghana continues to be admired as a beacon of democracy and peace in West Africa. Yet beneath this celebrated image lies a complex reality marked by inequality, corruption, and recurring violence that threaten the moral fibre of our society,” he said.
Addressing the issue of political tensions and electoral violence, he noted that despite the country’s commendable record of nine successful general elections and four peaceful transfers of power since 1992, recent polls have revealed growing political intolerance and violence.
