The National Peace Council’s cooperative discussion with prophets in the Greater Accra Region was marred by controversy.
Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder of the True Word Prophetic Fire Ministries, ascended the stage on Tuesday, when the meeting took a dramatic turn.
He cited a few well-known instances where he believed the Council had been silent and made the point that the Council seemed to be active primarily during elections.
These included, among other things, the Techiman election killings and the violence during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
He urged the Council to be proactive in addressing all issues, rather than what he described as selective action, stressing that peace cannot be built in a vacuum.
“I live close to Ayawaso West Wuogon. We saw the happenings of Ayawaso West Wuogon. Still I don’t know when Peace Council is going to speak on it or release and communiqué to that effect,” he said.
“We were in this country when our brothers and sisters in Techiman were killed. Till today, no word from Peace Council of the Republic of Ghana. Just last month or so… the Ghana Statistical Service brought a data or a survey suggested that the regular Ghanaian cannot afford three square meals, but we have an Agricultural Minister paid by the regular Ghanaian’s tax.
We should appreciate that peace is not found in a vacuum. There are certain conditions, there are certain tenets that must prevail before peace, as it were, can be established.”
But in response to his charges, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu Gyamfi, the Chairman of the National Peace Council, spoke.
Ahead of the impending elections, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the founder and presiding archbishop of Action Chapel International, gave counsel to politicians and prophets present.
