Renowned broadcaster and host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has launched a scathing attack on the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, accusing him of attempts to interfere with his current affairs program as reported by Ghana Web.
Adom-Otchere raised concerns over recurring technical disruptions on DSTV and YouTube whenever his show airs, hinting at a coordinated effort to limit public access to his broadcasts.
The journalist, known for his bold commentary, implied that the disruptions were not coincidental but rather deliberate acts aimed at silencing critical discourse.
In a video shared on social media, Adom-Otchere stated, “Every time we are on TV, then DSTV goes off… Why? What is this? Don’t they want people to hear what we are saying?”
His remarks suggest that political forces may be behind the interruptions, especially when sensitive or critical topics are being discussed on the program.
He singled out Minister Sam George in his address, warning him to desist from any alleged sabotage.
Referring to George, he said, “I will come after you. Don’t bring yourself.”
The statement has since stirred debate on social media, with many questioning whether the accusations are grounded in fact or political tension.
Adom-Otchere also criticized the supposed intolerance of opposing views, suggesting that even under more authoritarian regimes, media freedom wasn’t compromised to this extent.
The Minister is yet to publicly respond to the claims.
