He describes the viral teachings of Owusu Bempah as uncharacteristic of a true man of God “and he needs to be imprisoned for that.”
“Owusu Bempah is not a man of God and needs to be imprisoned for teaching his congregation to break the law. How can he preach breaking the laws of the country through bribery and go scot free? It is wrong for a pastor to come out and say these things,” he said.
According to him, the bible admonishes Christians to regard the laws of the country they find themselves in “but Owusu Bempah’s teachings directed otherwise. He is rather educating the masses to be corrupt.”
The man of God believes his colleague has informed the entire country that persons he (Owusu Bempah) is associated with in the corridors of power “are all corrupt. Owusu Bempah says President Akufo-Addo is corrupt and admitted he is responsible for corrupting all these people.”
Appalled by the teachings of his colleague, Christian Andrews posits, “I would’ve sentenced him to a term of imprisonment because of his utterances if I were President.”
He made his position known in an interview with Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show aired on e.TV Ghana and Happy FM.

He demanded an inquiry into all state institutions mentioned in Owusu Bempah’s sermon and asked for the prosecution all guilty parties.
