‘We didn’t visit galamsey sites to pray for galamseyers to stop work’ – Rev Frimpong Manso
Reverend Professor Paul Frimpong Manso, a former general superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Ghana, has disputed rumours that he and other pastors went to the galamsey site to pray.
Christian ecumenical leaders in Ghana may be seen singing ‘Yen Ara Asaase Ni’ and other national anthems at a place in the Eastern Region, according to a video posted by Accra’s UTV.
They were later seen offering prayers.
“We pray that our people will humble themselves and change from their wicked ways… heal our land and save us, heal our nation,” the pastor leading the prayer is heard saying.
Some Ghanaians have reacted negatively to the pastors’ visits to the galamsey locations, where they pray. The accusation levelled against them is that they are not using common sense.
Speaking of Oyerepa Breakfast Time, Rev. Frimpong Manso rubbished claims that they went there to pray for galamsey to stop; described the report as irresponsible.
“Our aim of visiting the galamsey site was not to pray. If it was prayers alone we could have stayed in our house. We have seen a lot of reports on galamsey. We went there to see if the galamsey is real.
“In everything, we start with a prayer. So when we got there we needed to pray and thank God for protection. We realized that Ghanaians have sinned against God for destroying the rich land so we prayed for forgiveness. We prayed for God to strengthen us to fight the menace. We started with prayer and ended with prayer”. He asserted.
When asked by the host of the show, Kwesi Parker-Wilson, whether they prayed for galamseyers to stop operating, Rev. Manson angrily replied, “No, we did not pray for galamseyers to stop. Don’t drag me there or else I will end the call. That comment is an insult to me and I am offended by the reports”.
