Government appointees must swear to deities - Kwaku Bonsam

The dreaded Afrancho-based fetish priest, Nana Kwaku Bonsam is set to petition the President, John Mahama and Parliament of Ghana next week to amend the constitutional provision of Ghana to enable all elected and appointed government officials take a traditional oath “ntam” and curses of deity invoked on them before assuming their various position to prevent misappropriation of State funds.

Nana Kwaku Bonsam, who was speaking in an interview with Koforidua-based Kingdom FM’s Kwaku Dawuro on the Dwedwam programme, said that is the only means to safeguard the state purse.

Kwaku Bonsam believes this will instill fear in corrupt officials not to mess with State coffers.

He said politicians who steal money and mismanage State resources are left off the hook all the time in the name of Christian and Islamic religion.

“They steal our money because they swear with the Bible and Quran, so let them swear with the deity even if they are Christians or Muslims.

The fight against corruption is not an easy one. However, it can be won with concerted efforts,’ he added.

According to Nana Kwaku Bonsam, he wants to make corruption and phantom election campaign promises a costly enterprise with the threat of a curses.
