Rev. Owusu Ansah Begs President Mahama to Forgive Kwaw Kese & Intervene | Perhaps He Has Never Heard of the INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY

I do not think much of many of the people bearing the title ‘Reverend’ these days but having read that Rev. Owusu Ansah is also the Head of Religious Broadcast at Multimedia Group Limited—and having made the below uninformed statement makes me a little worried.

According to PeaceFmOnline.Com, Rev. Owusu Ansah has somehow managed to bring President Mahama into the arrest/detention of Kwaw Kese by appealing to the head of State to intervene and forgive the musician who is currently facing narcotic related charges.

“I am not with the sin…but I am with the sinner who is already going through a lot in his life after the death of his manager, Fennec Okyere. Mr. President, please intervene and forgive Kwaw Kese” Rev, Owusu Ansah said.

Perhaps, I am the one with a thick understanding here; what has the President got to do with this issue? And is Rev. Owusu Ansah not aware of the most important doctrine on which democracy, rule of law and accountability is built-independence of the judiciary?

How on earth should anyone even suggest that the President who is the head of the Executive in a country like Ghana with clear separation of powers should poke his nose—not just his nose, intervene in the affairs of the judiciary?

If anything must be done, the legal team of Kwaw Kese must re-consider their arguments for bail…
