He mentioned receiving numerous complaints from individuals distressed by Afrifa's comments, which has caused him some concern.
In his reply, Afrifa emphasised that his primary focus is addressing national issues rather than catering to personal interests. He acknowledged the importance of his boss's guidance but reaffirmed his accountability 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.
