The bill, which aims to protect individuals accused of witchcraft, has been gaining momentum in recent times. According to Prophet Kyei Duah, the bill is crucial in addressing the menace of witchcraft accusations and mob violence that have claimed many lives.
He expressed disappointment that, despite the alarming rate of witchcraft-related violence, the bill has not received the attention it deserves. The cleric emphasized that the bill is not just about protecting suspected witches but also about promoting a culture of tolerance, understanding, and respect for human rights.
Prophet Kyei Duah made the plea during a sermon where he highlighted the importance of passing the bill into law. He explained that the bill will provide a framework for protecting the rights of individuals accused of witchcraft and holding perpetrators of violence accountable.
The Anti-Witchcraft Bill has been met with resistance from some traditional beliefs who believe that it undermines their cultural practices. However, Prophet Kyei Duah believes that the bill is necessary to protect human life and promote social cohesion.
The cleric urged Ghanaians to support the bill and work towards creating a society that values human life and dignity. He also called on lawmakers to prioritize the bill and ensure its passage into law.
The issue of witchcraft accusations is complex, with deep-rooted cultural and superstitious beliefs. However, Prophet Kyei Duah believes that education and awareness are key to addressing the problem.
He emphasized that the bill is a crucial step towards protecting human rights and promoting social justice in Ghana. With the President assenting to the bill, it can gain the momentum it needs to ensure the law makes a positive impact on Ghanaian society.
The people of Ghana are eagerly awaiting the president’s response to the plea. If passed, the bill will be a significant step towards reducing the number of violent attacks on individuals accused of witchcraft.
In conclusion, Prophet Kyei Duah’s plea to President Mahama highlights the need for collective action to address the menace of witchcraft accusations.
