Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrew, the founder of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM) and Life Assembly Worship Centre in Accra, has put forward a bold proposal to tackle corruption in the country.
According to the man of God, corruption has thrived due to the lack of strict laws or measures to combat it. As a result, he plans to combat corruption by implementing a system where corrupt officials have two fingers removed, one from each hand.
Rev. Andrew believes that this drastic measure would serve as a deterrent for individuals who wish to engage in corrupt activities. When asked about the possibility of imposing the death sentence for corruption offences, he expressed his disagreement with the idea, stating that it would be a waste of time.
Speaking on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, Rev. Andrew explained, “We should cut corrupt officials’ fingers, then bandage them.
When we do that and they walk into town and people question what happened to them, they will discover that they were involved in corruption, which is why their fingers were severed.
If we cut your toes, people will not notice because you will be wearing shoes. But if we cut your fingers, everyone will notice and understand what we did.”
He further elaborated on the proposed measure, stating, “That is why I have proposed Sharia law. If you are a corrupt official during my presidency, we will confiscate all of your assets and cut off your fingers.
People don’t understand why I recommended this and call it severe and extreme. But I disagree. People have entered office and engaged in various sorts of corruption, and we must deal with it once and for all.”
GUM is a political party in Ghana founded by Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrew, who is also the founder of the Life Assembly Worship Centre in Accra.
Rev. Andrew, also known as Kyiriabosom for his detestation and destruction of idols, has declared himself as “the new Kwame Nkrumah” and believes that the “spirit of Nkrumah is back.”
