Presidential Envoy for the Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations Office, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has stated that religious leaders who submit prophecies of national importance will not receive any financial compensation.
His comment comes amid growing public interest following the recent helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including two cabinet ministers.
Speaking in an interview, Mr. Afriyie Ankrah emphasized that the initiative is not intended to commercialize spiritual insights but to create a responsible and structured approach to handling prophecies related to national affairs.
“We are not offering money. If your prophecy is genuine and meant to protect the nation, then it shouldn’t be tied to financial expectations,” he said.
In a letter dated Sunday, August 10, 2025, his office urged clergy across Ghana to formally submit any spiritual revelations concerning national security, political leaders, or public safety.
These submissions, he explained, would be jointly reviewed by the prophet and government officials to determine appropriate responses.
The move follows viral videos of some pastors claiming they had foreseen the August 6 crash.
The directive, according to Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, is to curb sensationalism while creating a formal channel to process spiritually sensitive matters in a way that supports national stability.
