Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, a renowned Ghanaian prophet, has made a passionate appeal to H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the President of the Republic of Ghana, to support the passage of the Anti-Witchcraft Bill into law. According to Prophet Duah, the bill is long overdue and its passage will bring an end to the suffering of many innocent people, particularly the aged, who are often accused of witchcraft and subsequently subjected to various forms of abuse.
Prophet Duah, who is the General Overseer of the Believers Worship Centre and Philadelphia Movement worldwide, emphasized that the issue of witchcraft accusations is a serious one that requires immediate attention. He noted that many people have lost their lives, properties, and dignity due to false accusations of witchcraft. The prophet stressed that the passage of the Anti-Witchcraft Bill will help to protect the rights and dignity of all citizens.
The prophet’s appeal comes at a time when the Anti-Witchcraft Bill is pending presidential assent, having been passed by Parliament. Prophet Duah believes that the bill’s passage into law will help to address the issue of witchcraft accusations and promote a culture of tolerance and respect for human rights.
Prophet Duah also called on other stakeholders, including traditional leaders, civil society organizations, and the media, to support the passage of the bill into law. He emphasized that the fight against witchcraft accusations requires a collective effort and that everyone has a role to play. The prophet noted that the passage of the bill will not only protect the rights of the accused but also promote social cohesion and national development.
The Anti-Witchcraft Bill seeks to prohibit the accusation of witchcraft and the associated practices. The bill also seeks to provide protection for persons accused of witchcraft and to promote education and awareness about the issue. Prophet Duah believes that the passage of the bill into law will be a major step forward in the fight against witchcraft accusations and will help to promote a more just and equitable society.
Prophet Duah’s appeal has been welcomed by many human rights activists and organizations. They believe that the passage of the Anti-Witchcraft Bill will help to address a major human rights issue in Ghana and will promote a culture of respect for human rights. They also believe that the bill will help to promote social cohesion and national development.
Despite the growing support for the bill, there are still some challenges ahead. Some traditional leaders and community members have expressed concerns about the bill, arguing that it will undermine traditional practices and customs. However, Prophet Duah and other supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect the rights and dignity of all citizens.
Prophet Duah has therefore called on President Mahama to use his executive powers to assent to the bill and make it a law. He believes that President Mahama’s support will help to bring an end to the suffering of many innocent people who are accused of witchcraft. The prophet is confident that with the support of President Mahama and other stakeholders, the bill will be passed into law soon.
In conclusion, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah’s passionate appeal to President Mahama to support the passage of the Anti-Witchcraft Bill is a timely reminder of the need to address the issue of witchcraft accusations in Ghana. The prophet’s appeal has highlighted the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of all citizens and promoting a culture of tolerance and respect for human rights.
As the Anti-Witchcraft Bill awaits presidential assent, it is clear that the passage of the bill into law will be a major step forward in the fight against witchcraft accusations in Ghana. With the support of stakeholders like Prophet Duah and President Mahama, it is hoped that the bill will be passed into law soon, and Ghana will take a major step towards promoting a more just and equitable society.
