Comments by some Ghanaians on social media suggest that host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere did his already ‘battered reputation’ little good with his attack on Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings.
Zanetor has been in the news lately after drawing the ire of some government appointees and NPP communicators with her claim that the distribution of food and other relief items to the people hardly hit by the lockdown is being politicized.
Zanetor, after feeding some 500 head porters in Accra revealed that the distribution of the relief items is being done on party lines.
“People are using partisanship to distribute food. This is a humanitarian crisis. People are literally being asked to show evidence of their party membership before they are given food,” adding that the action taken is unacceptable and very sad, she lamented.
There have been reactions from the Ministries of Information and Gender who have all condemned the lawmaker for making ‘baseless allegations.
Paul Adom-Otchere who is the host of Good Evening Ghana on Thursday used his show to ‘address’ the matter.
Like the government appointees, Adom-Otchere took a swipe at the MP and debunked her assertions on the grounds that there was no evidence to back the claims.
Some followers of the show took social media to lambaste Adom-Otchere for the attack on the MP.
Below are some of the comments
I have no idea why the NDC still entertains this guy. He is a snake who doesn't care about ethics and is obviously being paid. Attacking Zanetor in this was just a way to try to suppress her voice in the coming elections. Paul Adom-Otchere is an NPP boy pretending to be neutral. pic.twitter.com/fnKBBI4geK

Ndoo, one does not need any clinical assessment to decipher the chronic cynicism of Paul Adom-otchere, host of the so-called Good Evening Ghana program, towards those whose political doctrines he doesn’t align with.… https://t.co/xsG8WaPPYp

Paul @AdomOtchere you owe Dr #Zenator Rawlings unqualified apology. The way he treated the legislator is totally shameful. I think the more you continue to use GEG to rundown people the more you ridicule yourself and drive away your viewers. Learn from the likes of Bernard n co

Did u pay @AdomOtchere to do politics on ur shows? What kind of childish behaviour did he show on #GEG? And to u, Paul, should everyone call the minister to report that same problem before releasing a press? Think properly before u join this craziness!

"I will not engage in old fashioned political shenanigans with anyone” – @zanetorofficial replies Paul Adom-otchere.@metrotvgh
This clown @AdomOtchere is on government payroll. He’s not a journalist... u guys in @OfficialNDCGh should treat him as a member of the npp. He’s just using @metrotvgh to do the hatchet job for Nana Addo. His attacks on @zanetorofficial should be counted with a “maximum force” pic.twitter.com/beTmYAI6Lf

The propaganda of @AdomOtchere is getting out of hand. What did Dr Ezanato say that has not happened?

Paul is one of the Educated illiterates in his time. I use to have lots of admiration for him until the Akyems won power. In fact, after we mistakenly voted the Akyems into office and trusting to behave like humans. We're well advised.
