According to Owusu Dankwah, it is disheartening to see a public figure like Dompreh using his platform to encourage hostility or engage in actions that could deepen societal divisions. The host remarked that rather than uniting people for a common cause or promoting peaceful dialogue, Dompreh appears to be taking a different route.
The controversy surrounding Frank Annoh-Dompreh has escalated following a series of statements he made, which critics claim were intended to provoke certain sections of the population. Although the exact nature of the remarks remains under scrutiny, Owusu Dankwah’s condemnation centers on the MP’s approach to addressing political or social issues. Owusu Dankwah is calling for accountability, noting that as a Member of Parliament, Dompreh’s duty is to advocate for harmony and stability, not to stoke conflict.
