President Mahama’s circle is not one of faith but of fraud. His so-called spiritual counsellors are cassocks in costume, pouring out counterfeit tongues as if words alone could sanctify or overturn every misdeed. Yet they remain blind to the divine handwriting of the Dark Wednesday tragedy. They lack the spiritual foresight to interpret its meaning.
At last, the victims were honoured in a colourful state burial. However, the actual spiritual cause that took their lives, as an atonement for the Republic’s sins, remains unknown to the president.
Here is the key spiritual cause that no one dares to tell the president and his government.
In Moses’ day, the command was short, sharp, and heaven-sent: “Let my people go.” Pharaoh hardened his heart. Egypt drank a bitter cup of plagues, funerals, and disgrace.
Today in Ghana, the echo is chilling. Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, the living emblem of the Republic’s judicial spine, has been shackled in the chains of political spite and suspended by President John Mahama on the hollow “advice” of a wasteful Council of State that cannot even counsel its own conscience. This is no mere political skirmish. It is captivity. It is humiliation. It is the Pharaoh spirit recycling the same arrogance that once drew heaven’s wrath.
And yet, our own Superior Bench, guardians of the law, have swallowed their tongues. They watched their Chief Justice fall and chose silence over courage. They traded the nation’s judicial soul for job security and table scraps from Pharaoh’s regime. Their muteness is not neutrality. It is betrayal, signed in fear and sealed with thirty dirty pieces of silver.
Then came Wednesday, August 6, a wound to the nation’s heart. While the blood of the fallen still seeped into the soil, the government mocked heaven by inventing a “Ministry of Prophecy Interpretation and Atonement Management Affairs” under Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, as if divine warnings could be scripted and staged.
It took bold, honest, and fearless foreign voices to speak truth to Pharaoh. On August 14, well after the tragedy, the Association of England and Wales Lawyers condemned the suspension, branding it a grave assault on judicial independence. Their outrage travelled across seas while our own judges cowered in the shadow of Pharaoh’s court. The silence of Ghana’s Bench is not merely shameful. It is an indictment written in the scrolls of heaven.
The warning stands: Reinstate My Chief Justice now, or brace for plagues that will make the first look like a whisper. The victims of that Wednesday may be the opening chapter, not the final line. Pharaoh once believed the Nile was his shield until it ran red.
Justice delayed is judgment invited. And when heaven strikes, even the hill thinks it is a valley. No presidential palace and no person, regardless of political colour, whether the notorious Green or the faintest Blue, will be spared.
