The recent comments from MP for Mpraeso, Davis Opoku, and Deputy Finance Minister Abena Osei Asare have sparked controversy on social media. Opoku’s defense of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) boss’s right to privacy regarding his age has been met with criticism, especially in light of a 2015 tweet in which Opoku publicly disclosed the age of then-Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei.
This revelation has led to accusations of hypocrisy and a double standard in Opoku’s approach to matters of public interest. Social media users have been quick to highlight this apparent inconsistency, questioning the integrity of the MP and his stance on privacy and transparency.
In a surprising turn of events, Charlotte Osei, the former EC chairperson, responded to Opoku’s old tweet with a set of laughter emojis and further commented “Ajeiiiii” to a post that called out the MP. This has added another layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama, further fueling discussions and debates within the online community.
The evolving situation has raised questions about transparency, consistency, and the role of public figures in matters of accountability. Opoku finds himself in the eye of a digital storm, facing scrutiny for his past statements and his present defense of the GRA boss’s privacy. The controversy surrounding this issue continues to spark widespread discussions and calls for public figures to uphold a high standard of transparency and accountability.
The incident serves as a reminder of the power of social media in holding public figures accountable and shaping public discourse. It also underscores the importance of consistency and integrity in the actions and statements of public figures, especially in matters of public interest and accountability. As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Opoku and other public figures will address these important issues and their implications for governance and public service.
