Veteran Ghanaian comedian and media personality, Kwaku Sintim-Misa, popularly known as KSM, has lashed out at clergymen who make a habit of predicting the winners of elections in Ghana, labelling them as ‘false prophets’.

In a recent submission on his YouTube channel, KSM expressed his frustration with these individuals, accusing them of exploiting their followers for financial gain through fake prophecies.

KSM highlighted that these false prophets often make predictions about presidential elections, which, if they come true, lead to increased church attendance and financial benefits for the prophets.

“These false prophets also have their own cash-out system, divine cash-out. Their cash out is that they will make fake prophecies about who will be president. Once they make a so-called prophecy that prophecy is fulfilled, their churches are full.

“But they are all fake. The fact that some of the alleged prophecies may come true does not mean that they are righteous. It is fake,” he stated.

He compared their actions to a lottery, where the outcome is uncertain, but the prophets always have explanations ready to justify their predictions.

KSM also noted that some pastors feel pressured to make fake prophecies to satisfy their congregations and stay in business.

“I know many pastors who were not into this prophecy business. But they tell you, when they (the congregation) come, they want you to prophesy. So in order for the pastor to stay in business, they have to do a fake prophecy,” he said.

He urged the Electoral Commission, led by Jean Mensa, to ensure a smooth and fair election process, free from the influence of these false prophecies.
