The TESCON Chapter of the SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies has issued a strong condemnation of recent religious comments made by Dr. Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for the Nhyeaso Constituency. The group has called on the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take immediate disciplinary action against him.
During a capacity-building workshop organized by TESCON KNUST on Friday, June 20, Dr. Amoah allegedly made remarks that were deemed divisive by the SD Dombo TESCON Chapter. The group expressed concerns that his comments could incite religious tensions and undermine the unity that both the party and the nation strive to maintain.
In a press conference held on Saturday, June 21, the SD Dombo TESCON Chapter stated, “We believe such utterances have no place in our democratic discourse.” They emphasized that the use of religion and tribal identity in political campaigns could set a dangerous precedent leading up to the 2024 general elections.
The group’s leadership reaffirmed the NPP’s commitment to inclusivity and national unity. They stressed that values such as merit, hard work, and national cohesion should not be compromised by divisive rhetoric. The TESCON President urged the party’s leadership to hold Dr. Amoah accountable in order to protect the integrity of the NPP.
TESCON at SD Dombo University urged all Ghanaians and NPP supporters to transcend religious and tribal politics. They reiterated their dedication to promoting an environment of tolerance and mutual respect, stating, “Ghana’s democracy must be built on ideas, policies, and vision—not on the manipulation of religious or tribal sentiments.”
