Former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, has criticized the government’s new directive requiring clergy to submit prophecies of national significance for official review.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Rev. Dr. Opuni-Frimpong questioned how politicians could assess spiritual revelations, emphasizing that such matters should remain within the domain of pastors and church leadership.
“Which people are going to review the prophecy? How does a politician teach pastors what to do? At least consult the clergy before making a public pronouncement,” he said.
He added that neither the Christian Council nor the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council were consulted.
“Some pastors have also politicized, so they care more about political affiliation,” he noted.
The directive, issued by Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, follows the August 6 military helicopter crash that killed eight people, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed. Since then, some self-proclaimed prophets have claimed they foresaw the tragedy.
