Micheal Okyere Baafi, Member of Parliament for New Juaben South has vowed to close all noisy churches, drinking clubs, and pubs in the constituency.
This threat was made during a town hall meeting in Koforidua, where his people expressed their displeasure with the growing noise pollution in the municipality, pointing to some churches and taverns as particularly noisy.
Whiles reacting to the complaints, Hon. Micheal Okyere Baafi said;
We all believe in worshipping God but it doesn’t mean you should disturb the sleep of others while worshipping. You want to worship your God, someone to wants to sleep. What I’m saying doesn’t mean I hate Churches or will go to hell. But if you won’t sleep and will pray, know that some people too want to sleep so don’t disturb them. I want to assure you very soon we will launch an operation in Koforidua”.
We will go out there to shut down many things. Many big men in the Municipality similarly complain to me about the increasing noise pollution that disturbs their sleep at night. They say Methodist school park, there are some three prayer warriors who disturb at night. This stupidity won’t be entertained. Those of you who attend churches, tell your pastors that worshipping God in blaring noise is not Christianity. I want to assure you that we will talk to them but if we talk to them and they still disregard our advice we just shut down the church. Not only churches but the drinking spots, pubs disturbing people in Koforidua we are not going to sit down for these things to happen
Nana Twumasi Darkwa, the Gyaasehene for New Juaben Traditional Area, backed the MP in this action. He also said;
This is what’s expected of every MP, some MPs don’t have time for their constituents to even listen to their problems and help them out. So what Hon. Baafi is doing will help him to address the challenges confronting his people when he goes to Parliament. He has the backing of Nananom.
