Former Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has criticised some members of the clergy who he claimed were vocal during the previous Akufo-Addo NPP administration but have now gone silent under the John Mahama government.
According to Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the pastors’ reluctance to speak out is due to appointments they have received from the present administration.
He argued that God’s word never changes and must be proclaimed consistently, regardless of which government is in power.
The former Suame MP urged the clergy to demonstrate the same conviction now as they did in the past under the Akufo-Addo government.
Speaking in a video snippet from an interview shared by SIKA OFFICIAL on July 27, 2026, on X, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stated, “I expect some pastors who spoke in the previous administration to speak. For whatever reasons, these same pastors have refused to speak under this regime”.
“God’s words never change. The word of God is always spoken as it is, so you have to do what you did and say what you said in the previous government in the new government”, he stated.
“And all these pastors have been given positions in this government, so they have refused to speak,” he alleged.
In other news, Also, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, has told Ghanaians to stop always placing blame on politicians.
According to Apostle Eric Nyamekye, citizens must also accept responsibility for the country’s governance and development.
Apostle Eric Nyamekye, however, acknowledged that leadership plays a crucial role in national development, but highlighted that the character of the people ultimately shapes the success or failure of their leaders.
He further urged Ghanaians to contribute to the peace and prosperity of the nation wherever they find themselves, adding that national transformation requires the collective efforts of all citizens.
The Church of Pentecost Chairman noted that Ghana’s progress cannot be left in the hands of a few political leaders.
Delivering the sermon at the 2026 National Day of Prayer in Accra on Wednesday, July 1, Apostle Nyamekye stated, “We are making a mistake by always blaming politicians. How many are they? What about the millions of us? Our forebears did not think the way we are thinking in our generation.
How many politicians and government appointees do we have in a population of 35, 34 million plus? How can these few people determine our destiny? Seventy-one per cent of us claim to be Christians. If we are not part of the corruption, how could we have felt it?” he questioned.
Meanwhile, Apostle Nyamekye added that Ghana’s development agenda should reflect the country’s future beyond successive governments.
He stressed that national policies must outlive political administrations.
Apostle Nyamekye urged Politicians to abandon superstition, politically driven prophecies and short-term governance, calling on Ghana to adopt long-term planning as the foundation for sustainable development.
“You see, when we don’t move away from superstition and the calendar, we will never settle down. When it is about elections, prophets rise, and the one who is able to give the most accurate prophecy, depending on which side of the political divide they lean, sometimes gets honourably rewarded. And who doesn’t want that honour? But let’s move this nation away from the calendar and superstition,” he urged.
