Ghanaian Prophet Kusi has lashed out at Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako over the accident caused by his son at East Legon.
In a video that has since gone viral, Prophet Kusi agreed with claims by some that the accident caused by Salifu's son, resulting in the death of two individuals, should be blamed on bad parenting.

Backing his claim with scripture, Prophet Kusi said the action of Salifu Amoako's young son feeds into the perception that many men of God do not give their children the proper training they deserve.
"In the book of Proverbs, it is written that a foolish son brings grief to his mother, whereas the wise son brings happiness. It is, therefore, right for Salifu Amoako to be held responsible. As a parent, if you can allow your child to drive a car, then it shows that you are not disciplined.”
He even wondered what excuse could be given for a 16-year-old boy to drive a car if not for bad parenting.
"The Bible says a pastor who can not look after his home can not take care of the church. Why do you allow your 16-year-old son to drive under the guise of going to buy an item? If there is discipline, do you think the child would drive the car—a child who has no license?"
"I know Salifu Amoako has been in the Ministry for many years, but I see he did not give his son a good upbringing. Even if a pastor is found driving without a license, he should be imprisoned. These are laws of the nation; if you fail to adhere to them, then equally, you did not comply with the laws of God.
At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 2000 likes and 19 comments.

Let's be careful
Speaking in an interview with YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai offered a different perspective on whether Bishop qualifies as a good leader in the wake of what has happened.
Based on scripture, Apostle Okai cited Eli and his son as an example to caution critics who try to create an impression that Bishop Salifu Amoako is not a leader people should look up to simply based on his son's actions.
"Eli was a good priest during a bad time in Israel’s history. Yet, he did a better job raising his apprentice, Samuel, than he did raising his own children. God punished his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, by the hand of the Philistines in battle."
