Open defecation will send many to hell - Top Man of God

Open Defecation(File Photo)
The Royal Reign Chapel International has launched a campaign against open defecation.

Founder and leader of the church, Reverend Fiifi Ankomah explaining the rationale behind the campaign said, the irresponsible acts by some individuals have cost the nation a lot hence the reason behind their campaign.

According to him, he took the initiative to research the Bible to support his campaign and from what he gathered, open defecation is something evil and against the will of God.

He said God who dwells among men does not do so when the people engage in open defecation.

Quoting Deuteronomy 23:13-14 to buttress his point he said:  And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. 14 Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

He further said open defecation will make a lot of Ghanaians go to hell.

The church he noted has taken steps to educate the members on the need to support the campaign and as part, if the plans of the church, it will embark on public campaigns and advocacy to from home the need for people to stop open defecation.

Delivering his third state of the nation address to parliament on Thursday, 21 February 2019, the President Akufo-Addo charged Ghanaians to desist from the practice, adding that: “Open defecation cannot be a characteristic of the country that is working to be transformed economically and to be counted among the developed nations of the world”.

He, therefore, noted that it was imperative that every household gets a toilet.
