  "account": "Rev. Kwadwo Boateng Bempah, Head Pastor of Holy Hill Chapel of the Assemblies of God, has criticized the newly imposed restriction on preaching in moving public service vehicles. He believes this move is an attempt to silence the church and prevent the spread of the gospel. Despite the new Road Traffic Regulations Act prohibiting hawking on buses in motion, Bempah remains resolute, stating that the church will not cease its mission. He questioned the rationale behind prohibiting preaching on buses when others continue to use loudspeakers in public spaces. Bempah urged Christians not to compromise their faith for the sake of others, emphasizing that the word must spread wherever people gather.",
