Temper Justice with Mercy- Nigel Gaisie

However reacting to his arrest in an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia, monitored by GhanaPlus.com, Prophet Gaisie, said Rev Owusu Bempah ‘s good behavior outweighs the current development hence authorities must temper justice with mercy.

According to him, there were many others who had committed worse crimes than his yet walking freely on the streets of the country as such the state should be gracious in its dealings with the man of God who said was instrumental in the re-election of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“ Owusu Bempah was monumental in your re-election, considering what Owusu Bempah did for the NPP to come to power, it cannot be commensurate with any toes he had stepped on, if you weigh the two I think that his positivity outshines his negativity…. I mean he has helped you get power ….and he was very vocal. We cannot underestimate the impact of Rev Owusu Bempah in the re-election of Nana Akufo- Addo and Bawumia, you cannot, nobody can, I am a historian, if the historian is writing, nobody can write it off”.

His impact was monumental so you cannot do this. I am not saying the law should not work .. he has been arrested, where he was arrested was wrong and then he has been jailed… I feel that they should be gracious enough, considering the fact that people do worse things than that and they are walking”.

“For me is a man of God, I respect oil of God upon his life so I thought that they should temper Justice with mercy”.
