Gospel singer and Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Kofi Sarpong, has fervently called upon his fellow Ghanaians to value and safeguard the existing peace, while cautioning against the severe consequences of war on both the economy and social structure of the nation.
Drawing from his experience at a peacekeeping camp in Sudan, Sarpong underscored the profound consequences of armed conflict, emphasizing the imperative to safeguard the peace they currently enjoy.

Reflecting on his time at a peacekeeping camp in Sudan, he emphasized the devastating consequences of armed conflict, urging Ghanaians to cherish and protect the peace they currently enjoy.

During an interview with Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, the popular ‘First Love’ singer highlighted how war disrupts law and order, resulting in a lack of accountability and increased violence.

“I had an opportunity to be at a peace-keeping area. I’ve  seen what war can do. It can devastate a whole country. If you saw these people that are staying in camps , some were rich but because of war they sleep where human beings shouldn’t stay or live. The conditions are so terrible,” he recounted.

He proceeded to recount a harrowing incident he witnessed firsthand during a period of conflict: two individuals armed with AK-47 guns engaged in a violent altercation, resulting in one fatally shooting the other.
Drawing from these experiences, he passionately urges Ghanaians to value the peace they currently enjoy and to select their leaders with discernment, advocating for unity and civility in governance.

“Let us guard and guide what we have and choose who we want to lead us, devoid of rancor, insult, fighting and all that and let us stay in this peace,” he advised.
