Entertainment pundit, Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, has called for the arrest of the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, over claims that Over-the-Counter foreign currency withdrawals from bank accounts had been banned.
Isaac Adongo, who also serves as a Board Member of the Bank of Ghana, recently stated that the central bank is planning to intensify restrictions on OTC dollar withdrawals as part of efforts to stabilize the Ghana cedi.
But reacting to this, in a video circulating on social media on May 27, 2025, KOKA argued that the MP should be arrested and prosecuted for spreading false information.
“Why is Isaac Adongo still walking free after making a false publication? He caused panic and fear when he spoke about the dollar. The Bank of Ghana had to come out and debunk his claims. Is it because he’s an NDC MP that the law doesn’t apply to him? He should be arrested and prosecuted, because under the Constitution, we are all equal.
“The law must work. The law doesn’t recognize a Christian, an NDC member, a traditionalist, or a Muslim. People hide behind platforms to spread false news, and I think he must be held accountable,” he added.
KOKA, a staunch member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), also criticised the government for lack of transparency, particularly regarding unfulfilled promises made to the creative arts sector.
According to him, the government had promised to provide financial incentives, including percentage returns, to individuals who use theatres but has failed to do so.
“Look at what is happening in our creative space. We were promised reduced costs and revenue sharing for people who use theatres, but nothing is happening. We were told the Black Star Experience is a moment, not a movement.
“It was supposed to start from the grassroots and build up to the national level, so what’s happening now? What was the celebration in May, and what should we expect in June? Communicate with the industry and let people know what’s going on,” he urged.
