Rev Victor Kusi Boateng, the founder of Power Chapel Worldwide, has been told by veteran media personality, Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), to stop the pre-Jandam after he linked his possible arrest and prosecution to his friendship with the former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
It will be recalled that Rev Kusi Boateng declared his readiness to go to jail, claiming his association with former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia could send him to jail.
The man of God argued that nothing can stop his friendship with Dr Bawumia and his wife, former Second Lady Samira Bawumia.
Rev Kusi Boateng claimed the NDC want to imprison me over my friendship with Bawumia.
According to Kusi Boateng, Prison is not for animals, adding that it would not be the first time he has been incarcerated and he returned alive.
Speaking to his congregation in a viral video clip, the founder of Power Chapel Worldwide during a visit by Samira Bawumia, wife of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Rev Kusi Boateng stated, “I want to say on my own pulpit that I don’t care who thinks about it; Dr Bawumia is my friend and will continue to be my friend. I will not hide it. I’m not a hypocrite. And if for this reason anybody wants to imprison me, go ahead.
“Prison is not for animals. It’s for human beings. I’ve been there; I didn’t die, I came back. And so it is not a crime to be a friend. And I want to say that Dr Bawumia and Hajia Samira Bawumia are my friends, my sisters, my brothers, and my bosom friends, with no apology. Papa, am I right? With no apology, they are my friend,” he reiterated.
However, KSM, reacting to the comments made by Rev Kusi Boateng on his show, boldly told the man of God that if he will ever be jailed, it will be linked to the controversial National Cathedral project.
Speaking on the KSM show, Kwaku Sintim-Misa stated, “You see, this is what ideally, I would call nonsensical nonsense. Listen, I’m sure you’re aware that the forensic audit for the National Cathedral is out… And trust me, those who have been fingered in the audit are mostly some pastors who engaged in this scam. The National Cathedral was a complete scam”.
“So, some of the pastors who have engaged in it, I’m sure that will be called by EOCO or somebody, and the funny thing is, I think Kusi-Boateng, becoming aware that this report is out, knowing for sure that somewhere along the line, he might be called, so, he tried to pre-empt it by throwing Jandam out there,” he stated.
He added, “All of that talk, I thought, was absolute crap. Number one, on the occasion of your child’s marriage was not a platform to make Jandam propaganda,” he expressed.
“If you will go to jail, it is because you will, number one, be found guilty of totally embezzling funds… stealing funds,” KSM said.
He added that being friends with Dr Bawumia was not a reason for anyone to be arrested.
“But if the court comes up with findings that absolutely accuse you, then it will be based on that, that you’ll be sent to jail and not because you’re Bawumia’s friend,” he stated.
“What I’m saying, if you are arrested, is because of this loot, and if the court frees you because they find nothing, fine,” he explained.
“What I’m saying, if you are arrested, is because of this loot, and if the court frees you because they find nothing, fine,” he explained.
It will be recalled that Rev Kusi Boateng was the Executive Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana project, which has been under investigation over corruption allegations surrounding the project.
Meanwhile, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State for Government Communications, announced that the forensic audit report into the National Cathedral is ready.
According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Attorney General received the forensic audit report into the National Cathedral last Friday and is currently studying its findings to determine the appropriate next steps.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu stressed that no individual would be shielded if the forensic audit establishes wrongdoing.
He further revealed that he had not personally seen the report and would not comment on its specific findings.
Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam, Kwakye Ofosu stated, “Deloitte and Touche audited the financial reports of the National Cathedral, which revealed financial irregularities, but it didn’t tell all the issues”.
“So we had to go further and do the forensic audit to know the people who were responsible for those irregularities and whether it was lawful or not,” he said.
“The Attorney General received the forensic audit report last Friday and is going through it to determine the next line of action,” he stated.
“I haven’t seen the report myself, and even if I have, I won’t speak to the issues because it is not time,” he said.
“But the initial report revealed that something went wrong, so the forensic will prove those responsible,” he said.
“So if anyone is indicted, I won’t be the one to say who should face the law or not. Based on the report, the Attorney General will take the necessary steps,” he stated.
