Kevin Taylor Urges Metro TV To Temporarily Suspend Paul Adom-Otchere Amid OSP Investigation

Ghanaian social commentator Kevin Taylor has called on the management of Metro TV to temporarily relieve veteran broadcaster Paul Adom-Otchere of his hosting duties on Good Evening Ghana while the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) conducts an ongoing investigation into his conduct.

Taylor’s demand follows reports that the anti-corruption body invited Adom-Otchere—who previously served as board chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited—for questioning regarding an alleged criminal offense. Reacting to the news, Taylor argued that stepping the host aside during the probe would serve as a prudent precautionary measure rather than a presumption of guilt.

Citing standard editorial practices among international media networks, Taylor noted that broadcasters routinely suspend on-air personalities facing serious probes to safeguard institutional credibility. He warned that allowing Adom-Otchere to remain at the helm of Metro TV’s flagship current affairs program risks exposing the network to severe reputational damage should the OSP’s findings prove unfavorable.

Taylor also referenced Adom-Otchere’s recent media appearances, including a segment on UTV, as he urged Metro TV’s leadership to publicly clarify its stance on journalistic accountability and public trust. According to Taylor, how the station navigates this controversy will directly shape audience perceptions of its professionalism.

While Taylor’s remarks reflect his personal view on corporate governance, the OSP’s investigation remains active, and Adom-Otchere has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing. Metro TV management has yet to issue a formal response regarding whether it will alter the broadcaster’s on-air status while inquiries proceed.
