Residents of Adum, Kumasi criticize the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, for spending too much time on social media instead of addressing their concerns.
They blame the government for the Adum market fire and question Dr. Amoakohene’s performance, despite his claims of being the best regional minister.
‘He is a social media minister.’ I have a question—who are the people on social media? Is it not you? And is it a sin for a minister to be on social media? I am not leaving that space because I was there with you during the campaign. So now, should I become a minister and abandon you on that platform, without anyone getting to hear your voice and what you think should be the development direction of this country? No. So, I will be there with you and encourage you,” A trader said in an interview widely shared on social media.
Another person also said, “With Kumasi burning, the Regional Minister is on social media dancing and claiming to be the best regional minister. How can he be the best with such an attitude? He is always online. He is a regional minister only on social media. He spends time on those platforms where he’s praised, while the people of Kumasi go through difficulty and suffering. Come 2028, the NDC will go out of power. That is non-negotiable."
