The Founder of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Rev Lawrence Tetteh has vowed to support the trending taxi driver who returned an amount of GHC8,400.00 to a fishmonger who forgot her money in his taxi with a brand new car.
His motivation to support the driver is due to the zeal and selflessness shown by Mr Ackon, the taxi driver, to return the money to its rightful owner.
“I am happy to support him in any way. If he is going to buy a new car, we can help him with the difference to get a good car. This is a moral story. These are things we need in Ghana. This is not a greedy person ……at the back of somebody’s expense. I need to support him”.
Driver Ackon became a topic for discussion on social media platforms, after the Editor in Chief of the Fourth Estate, Manesseh Azure Awuni called on prominent people in the country to support the driver beyond words of appreciation.
A number of people reached out to help. Among them was the Vice president, Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia who donated GHC 20,000 Ghana cedis to reward Mr. Ackon for his honesty and exemplary show of integrity.
Speaking with Kafui Dey on the GTV Breakfast Show, Rev. Lawrence Tetteh encouraged Vice President Bawumia to introduce the taxi driver to past and present leaders of the country to encourage other Ghanaians to emulate the act of kindness.
” I want to recommend it. The Vice President should not send a message. He should meet him physically. The President should shake hands with him. Former President should shake hands with him. He should go to president Kuffuoh’s House. He should be hosted. These are things that he will take pictures with and it will encourage others. We can also receive him here”.
Rev. Tetteh congratulated the Taxi Driver and his family and his ”echo system”, for a good upbringing.
“We should not forget to congratulate his parents and for a good upbringing. This is a moral thing. His wife and all around him has helped in doing the right thing. This is what we need in the country”, the Reverend opined.
