Outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has descended heavily on some prophets describing them as fake men of God who are using the name of the Lord to deceive innocent Christians in the country.
According to him, ‘fake’ prophets in Ghana insist their prophecies come directly from God and are subjecting the country to international ridicule.
Speaking on Adom TV Tuesday, Mr Agyapong indicated that these spiritual ‘hustlers’ are the same people who are always seen around the President.
He said they have skillfully learnt how to play on the economic, political, and spiritual insecurities of many Christians.
As a result, some of these so called prophets have become experts in the exploitation of the vulnerabilities of the people who solemnly believe in them.
“All these fake prophets who parade themselves as real prophets are not and are deceiving innocent citizens. What puts me off most is those who are always seen around the President after criticizing him…if I were to be the President, I would have jailed all of them and dealt with them because they are engaging in broad day robbery,” he warned.
Though he did not mention names, the controversial MP advised President Akufo-Addo to be cautious of these prophets.
“I hate it when Nana Addo mentions their names and acknowledges them. It really puts me off because after deceiving their members to pay tithe, they end up at the Presidency to seek for sympathy,” he said.
Ken Agyapong however urged Ghanaians to move pass these dishonest thoughts and pursue common sense solutions to the challenges facing them which he believes is the only way people can keep these fake prophets out of their lives.

I may not like some of his political views and arrogance but I do agree with him about these pathological fake pastors. Even the educated ones like Nana Addo are being deceived by these men believing that they have the magic wand to help politicians gain power. I agree with Mr K Agyapong. The Bible states that even educated persons like professors PH holders if not wise can be deceived by these fakes. They use the political terrain to make predictions which any ordinary person can do but because of gullibility of Africans they believe it as prophesy from GOD. Why do they always preach about negatives and doom? Why can't they pray to avert dangers?. Shine your eyes Ghanaians.
NPP this is what I dislike about the PARTY. Agyepong can never be 100% truthful but he speaks the truth & those so call educated folks in the party get the positions & deceive Ghanaians. If NPP will have @ least 10 honest folks like Agyepong prosperity will not judge them.
This one come again this fake pastors use your radio station to deceive people.why can't you stop them
YES!!!!Ken Agyepong is spot on and has hit the nail on the head regarding one of the weaknessess of our society today ; there have been a massive rise in the number -Pastors and Prophets who have gradually over the years changed the MINDSET Of Ghanaians ; the point Ken Agyepong is making to me is rather very importand and Nana Addo should take heed of his advice because the TRUTH is that Pastors like Owusu Bempah ; Mensah -Otabil ; Duncan -Williams are gradually gradually eroding the moral ability of the Ghanaian to be productive ; these pastors and prophets are using PRAYERS to full Ghanaian society that PRAYERS are the path way to Ghana success -A VERY FALSE ASSUMPTION because history tells us that the UK; US depended mainly on slave trade as the basis for their economic growth ; the evidence ; the people never usecd PRAYERS as means to become succesful but today we have a situation in which we have a whole country ounder the spell of of a group pastors and prophets who have held Ghana to ransom with this religious NUNSENSES which crippling Ghana slowly ; the irony is that the rise rise of these pastors and prophets shows a a nmassive decline in economic activity ; morals are low ; stilling and murder in society are very high in Ghana ; people are being told the awful truth that by prayer everything will represent growth ; the sad fact is that we have our leaders including Nana Addo execept JJ Rawlings even kow-towing to these Prophets who are invited to state functions ; just look at the long list of pastors who lined up to greet the Ashanti hene ; then there this Rev Tetteh who is always lobbying for invitations -WHY -KEN AGYEPONG IS CORRECT WE SHOULD CURTAIL THE ACTIVITIES OF THESE PASTORS AND PROPHETS NOW !!!!!!!
Pathetic how African countries allow such modern day malaise and menace to cripple the mentality of Ghanaians as this. Wonder how some churches, pastors and their bands of toothless elders make it a routine to draw week-long programs for worshippers instead of admonishing them to utilize their times seeking means of livelihood by working. And these fake pastors are simply extortionists indoctrinating their flock with all sort of hogwash as pseudonym of faith. And they rip these gullible folks of every dime as they pimp their ill gotten advantage over them.
