Prophet Nicholas Osei, better known as Kumchacha, the founder and head of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, has bemoaned the effects of economic hardship on Ghanaians and is pushing for the sale of the country to its old colonial overlords.
The man of God claimed during a monitored interview on Onua FM that Ghanaians are suffering as a result of the NPP-led government’s poor governance.
He continued by expressing that in his opinion, having colonial rulers rule the nation would be preferable to having black people mismanage the country.
“Masa things are hard, and how the system has become, if possible, let’s sell the country and share the proceedings. Since we gain our independence. If the whites were still ruling us, I’m sure by now we would have developed.
“Looking at South Africa and how the whites have developed their country, is so sad. How can a country that gain independence more than 60 years ago still keep borrowing? Just look, we have cocoa, oil, timber, gold, diamond and everything but still, we’re struggling. Which country is this,” he fumed.
Meanwhile, on November 18, 2022, when he came before the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee debating the Motion of Censure against him, Ghana’s Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, apologised to the people of Ghana for their economic hardships.
He admitted that Ghana’s citizens are experiencing challenges and that the country’s economy is having problems.
He declared that he is aware of the horrible effects of the problems and that he will keep working hard to find solutions in order to lessen the suffering of the populace.
“Today, I acknowledge our economy is facing difficulties and the people of Ghana are enduring hardships.
“As the person, President Akufo-Addo has put in charge of the economy, I feel the pain personally, professionally, and in my soul. I see and feel the terrible impact of the rising prices of goods and services on the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Ghanaians,” he told the Committee.
He added that he has taken note of the plight of businesses in the country as they struggle to stay in business.
“I feel the stress of running a business. But, it is the strength and perseverance of the Ghanaian people that inspire me and my colleagues in government every morning, to press on,” Ofori-Atta said.
The minister added that “is what gives me the strength to press on to find solutions and relief for Ghanaians to the myriad of problems that our country and the rest of the world are facing, especially, since March 2020.”
