Outspoken Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Kofi Oduro, has criticized the government and Ghanaian leaders following an unexpected power outage during his church service.
The founder of Alabaster International Ministries expressed disappointment that Ghana continues to face persistent power outages even after sixty-seven years of independence.
He compared Ghana’s situation to countries where such issues are rare, highlighting the lack of prior notice from the government to citizens.
Prophet Oduro recounted his experience living in London, where there was formal notice weeks in advance for even minor maintenance work.
He lamented the lack of similar accountability in Ghana and criticized leaders who defend the country’s failing systems.
“My brother just came from Holland, ask if he remembers when last they experienced power outage while their president or prime minister was giving a speech? Tell me that you experience power outage over there.
“I stayed overseas for four years. I stayed in London, and over there when the government intended to cut our supply of water to allow for maintenance work to be done, we were given formal notice three weeks to the day, we were reminded two weeks to the day, a week to the day and even the week of the day, we were notified. This was for just a 30mins maintenance work.”
Despite this, he reminded listeners that accountability for actions will come for everyone.
He said, “The country is 67 years, yet our lights are turned off regularly. And you will see a minister boldly defending dumsor. It is sad, yet we do not acknowledge it.
“However, the truth is we shall all account for our deeds and be paid accordingly.”
