Did you know Jesus Christ was a social democrat?
That’s some nonsense being claimed by Ghana’s Deputy Minister-designate for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Emmanuel Habuka Bombande.
If we are to evaluate the teachings, ideas and relationships of Jesus Christ today, I am not sure he will be boxed into Social Democracy but Emmanuel Habuka Bombande told parliament yesterday that Jesus was a social democrat, just like him and the many supporters of the ruling NDC government.
Soon, we will be told that Jesus Christ is even NDC—or has only ordained the NDC.
Social democracy is loosely define as “a Social democracy is a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a capitalist economy, and a policy regime involving collective bargaining arrangements, a commitment to representative democracy, measures for income redistribution, regulation of the economy in the general interest and welfare state provisions.”

The Deputy Minister-designate for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Emmanuel Habuka Bombande, was yesterday grilled by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on his political orientation in view of his position as former executive director of a non-political civil society oganisation – the West Africa Network for Peace Building (WANEP) – as well as his competence for the new appointment.
When he was asked whether he was a card-bearing member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), the deputy minister-designate said that he had never been a card-bearing member of the party but he is a strong believer in social democratic ideals and therefore finds it very easy and comfortable to work in the (NDC) government.
He said even Jesus Christ took sides during His work on earth.
He noted that although Jesus was born for the entire world, He was largely fighting for the poor and the down-trodden and protecting their interests.
“Jesus Christ was the first social democrat,” he told the Appointments Committee.
However, the minority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, completely disagreed with him, saying that Jesus Christ did not only work for the poor, but also for the rich.
“Jesus Christ loved good things and always associated Himself with the rich because he believed in prosperity,” Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu pointed out.
