Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has expressed sadness about how various Ghanaian governments deliberately target, hound and kill flourishing Ghanaian-owned private business in favour of foreigners.
During his first sermon on Sunday, 1 September 2019 at Action Chapel International, the preacher told his congregation that: “The level of insecurity, envy and jealousy in this country is amazing”.
“And if you look at our political system, the way it’s designed, it enhances jealousy and envy”, he observed, adding: “It empowers envy and jealousy”.
“So, it has become a vicious cycle where we have become a society of bringing down one another”, he noted.
Buttressing his assertion with a caveated example, Archbishop Duncan-Williams said: “And I don’t want to be political, but if you look at people like Zoomlion and others, Zoomlion is a Ghanaian but every government that has come will go after Zoomlion because they don’t understand why a Ghanaian should make it that big”.
In his view, Ghanaian governments “prefer to cut deals with foreigners and let foreigners come in, take our inheritance, and give us crumbs and peanuts rather than to make deals with a Ghanaian”.
“So”, he continued, “Any government that comes, they’ll tell them that: ‘This man is NPP, or this man is NDC; he’s an enemy of our party, he’s an enemy of state, he’s an enemy of the nation, pull him down, bring him down’”.
“And we’ll take away everything he has and give it to foreigners, so, sometimes when you’re travelling on the Spintex Road, you’ll see shops, [on which it’s written]: ‘Thank you Ghana’. And another will say: ‘I love Ghana. Ghana is good’”, he said.
A stoic Duncan-Williams then told his congregations: “There’s no name they haven’t named me, so, I’m not worried anymore about talking because whether I talk or not, there are people who believe I’m NDC and there are people who believe I’m NPP and there are others who believe I don’t belong anywhere and there are those who also believe that I’ve lost my way and some also believe I don’t know where I’m going or where I belong. You can think whatever you think, you’re entitled to your opinion”.
“And we’ll take away everything he has and give it to foreigners, so, sometimes when you’re travelling on the Spintex Road, you’ll see shops, [on which it’s written]: ‘Thank you Ghana’. And another will say: ‘I love Ghana. Ghana is good’”, he said.

IT'S SUCH A SHAME TO SEE A SO-CALLED MAN OF GOD DISPLAY SUCH IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE. YOU EXPECT THE BANK OF GHANA AND THE GOVERNMENT TO IGNORE BANKING AND FINANCIAL REGULATIONS AND ALLOW THE "FREE FOR ALL" APPROACH UNDER THE CORRUPT JOHN MAHAMA REGIME THAT PRODUCED COUNTLESS FAKE BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES? ANY FINANCIAL OR BANKING INSTITUTION THAT CAN'T MEET A SIMPLE MINIMUM REQUIRED CAPITAL RESERVE SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED TO OPERATE IN THE COUNTRY, PERIOD! BEFORE THE NPP ADMINISTRATION TOOK OFFICE, JOHN MAHAMA AND HIS PARTY OF "GREEDY BANDITS / FRAUDSTERS INC" HAD GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO ALL SCAMMERS HEADED BY HIS OWN BROTHER IBRAHIM TO GRAB AS MUCH AS THEY CAN AND THAT'S WHY GHANA WAS ALMOST BANKRUPT. IT'S NO REASON WHY THESE NDC "FREE LOADERS" LIKE THE DUNCAN WILLIAMS, YVONNE NELSON, JOHN DUMELO, OKUDZETO ABLAKWA, AFIA SCHWARTZNIGGER, ASIEDU NKETIA, ***barred word*** MZBEL, TRACEY BOAKYE AND MANY MORE ARE NOW CRYING THAT THERE IS NO MONEY IN THE SYSTEM. GHANA IS ON A FIRM FOOTING FINANCIALLY AND WILL NEVER FALL PREY TO THE CAREFREE AND ***barred word*** JOHN MAHAMA VOODOO ECONOMICS SYSTEM AGAIN!!! WHAT A SHAME!
SO PREACHING AT THE CHURCH IS ALSO NOW A POLITICS.
With all due respect to the highly respected man of God, there are a lot of thriving SMEs and businesses in Ghana that are run by honest hardworking Ghanaians. Banking is not a simple business especially when you are collecting the hard earned money of many poor as deposits. So should the State just look on at the loss of billions of Cedis? The sad reality is that we have a 2-tier justice system in Ghana, where the rich and powerful are never punished and the poor are jailed for the least of crimes. In other countries most of the board members, CEOs and high-level executives will be in jail for causing financial loss.
***barred word*** comments. You don't have any message. You carry yourself too high but you are an empty barrel. If these banks are misusing depositors money and cannot pay them when they need their monies, and the regulator revokes their license, is that envy and jealousy? Empty pastor. You call yourself an archbishop but you don't have a message. Preach Christ and eternity rather than dabble in a field you have no knowledge in.
@Anokware: Tenkeeeeew. He is talking like this because probably most of the owners of those banks that mismanaged depositors funds and were closed down are his church members who pay huge tithes. Apart from those ***barred word*** banks and savings and loans companies that were closed down, what company doing the right thing has been closed down? If you do the right thing you will be supported.
As we all want our local companies to grow we should also be bold to say it when they are stealing us to enrich themselves because of no competition.
