Evangelist Lord Kenya has called on the Ghanaian community and all stakeholders to help transform the life of people addicted to drugs.

The born again musician, speaking at an inauguration ceremony at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi- said the common notion held by Ghanaians that drug addiction is irreversible is simply untrue.

According to him, drug addicts could be reformed if people closer to them do not treat them as outcasts in the society. He said “with the support from relatives, friends and colleagues, addicts could be liberated.”

“So many people (addicts) want to shun drugs but the society we live in and the people make it difficult to do so”, the man of God said.

“We need to help, many need help, but God is the answer”, he added.

Evangelist Lord Kenya charged the government and all stakeholders to see to it that the various rehab centers in the country do not lose sight of their core mandates and focus.

“Most of these institutions have become avenues for the addicts to acquire ‘Masters’ in drug addiction’ rather than a place to help them.

He also advised the youth to be careful in choosing whom they associate themselves with.

“These friends are called cardboard friends. They see you as a cardboard full of wisdom, success, and prosperity. So they always get closer just to destroy you and leave you to rot,”

He expressed worried on why the Ghanaian media still focus in promoting what he left behind; instead of helping him to spread the good message of God.
