IS YOUR CRITICISM OF NANA-ADDO’S GOV’T BECAUSE THEY SIDELINED YOU? – Delay Asks Okatakyie Afrifa

She tried to determine whether there was any explanation for his criticisms of the government during his interview with Delay, which GhanaWeb recorded.

“Is it not that case that because you campaigned for them, you expected something juicy when they came to power but they have sidelined you hence your constant attacks on the government?” she asked.

Okatakyie disputed claims that his accusations were motivated by a purported decision to bench him while maintaining his composure.

He claims to have numerous family members and acquaintances who work in government, which may be to his advantage, but his attention has been on the greater picture.

“What people don’t know is that I’ve been with Akufo-Addo at least twice at private meetings,” he said while disclosing his relationship with the Chief of Staff. “Frema Opare is my mother; she’s from Wiamoase and I’m Asante Agona Oyokohene and I have unfettered access to her.”

“However, I never went to her with my CV seeking to even be the PRO of a toilet facility, so to speak. It appears everybody’s mind is connected to their stomach; mine is not like that. Nobody in the political landscape can ever say I have been to their offices for favours. My interest is, you should create the enabling environment; I have a mind of my own to make money from my sweat.”
