A sharp public exchange has erupted between Ashanti Regional Minister and broadcaster following remarks questioning the minister’s professional credentials.
The controversy began during a March 26, 2026, episode of Good Evening Ghana on , where Adom-Otchere cast doubt on Dr Amoakohene’s qualifications as a medical doctor. He suggested that the minister’s academic background did not equate to full medical training, implying limitations in his professional competence.
Adom-Otchere also criticized the minister’s approach to national discourse, describing him as unserious and unprepared for policy-driven debates. The comments quickly gained traction online, drawing attention from political observers and the general public.
In a swift response on social media, Dr Amoakohene firmly defended his credentials, stating that he is a fully qualified medical doctor in good standing. He also took a direct swipe at the broadcaster, dismissing the claims and asserting that he is “not a dropout,” a remark widely interpreted as a jab at Adom-Otchere.

To reinforce his position, the minister shared evidence of his academic achievements, including qualifications in both medicine and laboratory science. His post reignited longstanding allegations—previously raised by media personality —that Adom-Otchere did not complete his professional law training.
Although Adom-Otchere holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Ghana, he is not a practicing lawyer, having reportedly not completed the Ghana School of Law programme. However, no official explanation has been publicly confirmed.
The exchange has sparked widespread debate on social media, with users divided over the claims and counterclaims. While some praised Dr Amoakohene for defending his reputation, others called for civility and fact-based discussions.
The incident highlights the growing tension between politics and media in Ghana, where public scrutiny and personal credentials increasingly shape national conversations.
