Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has stressed the need for moral uprightness to contribute to the growth of the country’s economy.

He said the nation will progress if the structures put in place encourage predictable behaviour to improve the quality of lives of the people.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur made the call when he opened the 82nd Annual National Convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission at Gomoa Pomadze in the Central Region.

He called on religious leaders to lead the moral crusade through persuasion.

Meanwhile, the Head and Missionary-in-charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Dr Maulvi Wahab Adam has blamed the country’s economic challenges and her inability to compete with developed countries on corruption.

He said, Ghana is endowed with resources and competent persons to manage them yet seek financial assistance from foreign countries.

Dr. Wahab Adam advised Ghanaians to desist from corrupt practices since corruption diverts resources that can benefit the
entire population of a country.
