'My duty is to the public’ - Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah responds to Dr. Kweku Oteng

Broadcaster Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has addressed concerns raised by his employer, Dr. Kweku Oteng.

Dr. Oteng previously expressed frustration over Afrifa's outspoken nature and aggressive approach, particularly regarding his criticisms of galamsey.

Earlier, the Angel Group of Companies founder said he has been receiving numerous calls from individuals complaining about Afrifa's attacks, a situation that has somewhat caused him distress.

But Okatakyie Afrifa, in response to his employer’s concerns, said his commitment lies in tackling national issues rather than people’s interests.

But in response, Afrifa affirmed his commitment to national issues over personal interests.

Afrifa has acknowledged that although he values his boss’ guidance, he is accountable to the public.

"I respect Kweku Oteng because he can be my father, and when he advises me, I will listen to his advice. I am the one who told him to prompt me when I am going overboard. But I want to ask, is it right to listen to Kweku Oteng over the cries of Ghanaians," he questioned.

Okatakyie added that he is not a timid journalist and will reveal the secrets of any politician who attacks Dr. Kweku Oteng henceforth.

"Most journalists working for Angel FM are timid because of the attacks they receive from these politicians, when did all these start?

"From now onwards any politicians who attack Kweku Oteng, I will personally reveal your secrets because I am not a timid person," he said.

Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has been vocal against illegal mining, a pressing national issue in recent times.

Through his show on Angel FM, he has consistently criticised the involvement of politicians, clergymen, and traditional leaders in these illegal activities.
