Does Apostle Kojo Sarfo Kantanka Hold The Key To Ghana's Future?

It is said that health is wealth. Before the advent of the first Europeans in Africa, we lived in harmony with Mother Nature, and grew food using organic agricultural methods. It made it possible for us to avoid many of the illnesses then plaguing Western societies.

Sadly, over the decades since our nation gained its  independence from the British occupiers of our country in 1957, we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars importing synthetic agricultural inputs - including carcinogenic pesticides banned elsewhere - in an effort to boost agricultural production.

Today, many discerning Ghanaians will agree that from a public health standpoint, it makes no sense at all for our nation to continue  allowing the production of food containing chemical residue - that at worst cause cancer to those ingesting such agricultural produce: and at the very least weaken the immune systems of consumers of such produce.

We must end the power and baleful influence of the vested interests that profit mightily from the importation and distribution of synthetic agricultural inputs in Ghana, once and for all, for common-good reasons to do with ensuring public health in our country.

It is time our educated urban elites started taking Apostle Kojo Sarfo Kantanka - who is a polymath and genius - seriously. Any Ghanaian who does lateral thinking will realise that he actually holds the key to providing the wherewithal to sustainably fund free education in Ghana. Ditto state funding for free quality healthcare and genuinely affordable housing for ordinary Ghanaians.

Perhaps it is no accident that President Akufo-Addo became the first president of the Republic of Ghana to attend the annual exhibitions organised by Apostle Kojo Sarfo's Kristo Asafo Church to distribute  produce from the Church's many farms and exhibit its technological and scientific innovations to the world. Providence must have willed it.

If our leaders are sincere about their commitment to sustainable development, then this blog humbly suggests that those who currently govern our nation should task the cabinet committee overseeing Ghana's implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), with getting the relevant state research institutions to collaborate with Apostle Kojo Sarfo Kantanka, as soon as practicable.

The state must enter into a win-win public private partnership (PPP) with Apostle Kojo Sarfo Kantanka to turn Ghana into a global power in the production of organic agricultural produce using his natural growth-enhancers, natural growth mediums, natural weedicides and pesticides. Ditto enter into a PPP to enable his Kantanka Automobile Limited to retrofit all state vehicles with chargeable electric systems - both old (but not above 5  years in age) and new - and  turn them into self-charging electric vehicles.

Will the trillions of old cedis such a development  will save the state - which it currently spends annually purchasing  fuel to power the public-sector's fleet of government-owned vehicles - not be sufficient to fund free second-cycle education sustainably, if the government awards a sole-sourced (for strategic national security reasons) contract to Kantanka Automobile Limited to retrofit all its vehicles into electric vehicles, one wonders? Haaba.

And will Ghana not quickly become the world's biggest producer of  organic agricultural produce - including cocoa beans and sundry organic cocoa products made from it - were the government  to ban the importation and use of  synthetic agricultural imputs for farming in Ghana, and pass new laws sanctioning the use of only Apostle Kojo Kantanka's natural plant growth enhancers, natural growth mediums, natural pesticides and natural weedicides?

Will that not create jobs galore for our dynamic and much-talented younger generations, and wealth that stays in our country? With respect, if 2018 is the year that President Akufo-Addo intends to move "with supersonic speed"  to fulfill his transformational agenda for Ghana, then surely the time has come for Apostle Kojo Sarfo to be taken seriously by our nation's educated urban elites? He holds the key to Ghana's future. Literally.
