Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has called on Ghanaians to pray for the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), warning that the institution is facing opposition from a “very powerful movement”.
According to Archbishop Duncan-Williams, the movement comprises powerful and well-established individuals who understand the gold trade and are resisting efforts to regulate the sector and enforce the law.
“I am concerned about some things,” Archbishop Duncan-Williams said during a church service on Sunday, August 16, 2026, as he urged the congregation to intercede for Ghana.
He said some individuals who previously accessed gold through illegal channels were now seeking avenues to purchase gold through GoldBod.
“It is very clear to me that the GoldBod is dealing with a very powerful movement,” he said.
He expressed concern that Ghana’s failure to effectively enforce its laws, particularly in the fight against illegal mining, could have serious consequences for the country’s future.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams also raised concerns about the destruction of water bodies and farmlands, warning that the situation was putting the future of Ghana’s children and grandchildren at risk.
“In the name of politics, we are destroying the future of our children and our grandchildren,” he cautioned.
He therefore urged the church to dedicate time to praying and interceding for the nation, stressing the need to protect Ghana’s natural resources from further destruction.
