Archbishop John Kwofie asked President Mahama to keep his word about stopping illegal mining. He reminded the president that he had promised to end galamsey within 120 days of taking office. The Catholic Church worries about these mining activities because they harm people. He told the president that citizens voted for him partly because of his stand against illegal mining. The public trusts him to tackle this problem.

The archbishop said miners from many West African countries hide in the forests. He called for people with integrity to help restore the forests. During his Easter message, he talked about how Jesus's rising from the dead caused great excitement. He explained that this event had never happened before in history. Christ rose to prove wrong those who denied that resurrection was possible.

He compared rising from death to rising above injustice. He encouraged people to leave behind wickedness. The congregation dressed in white to show victory over death. They celebrated with joyful songs rather than the sadness of Good Friday. Their music marked new beginnings for everyone.
