Dzifa Gomashie Breaks Silence On Joyce Bawah’s Handbag Incident, Massive Reactions Online

Ghanaian Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie has criticised the public scrutiny surrounding Joyce Bawah Mogtari’s handbag, describing the criticism as unwarranted.

In a report shared by GHOne TV on October 11, 2026, Gomashie expressed concern about individuals questioning the type of handbag Mogtari carries. She described their actions as audacious and urged them to consider their own family circumstances before criticising her.

The minister’s comments have sparked widespread reactions online, with social media users divided over her response.

Some have supported her stance, arguing that women should not be subjected to unnecessary criticism over their personal belongings, while others have questioned why the issue has attracted so much attention.

The controversy has also highlighted broader concerns about how social media amplifies discussions about the lifestyles and personal choices of public figures and their associates.

While some people believe the criticism directed at Mogtari is unfair, others argue that individuals connected to public office should expect a certain level of public scrutiny.

Gomashie’s intervention has added another dimension to the ongoing debate, with many Ghanaians continuing to discuss the issue and its implications for public discourse.
