Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has advised the Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene, to exercise restraint when responding to public criticism, especially on social media.
His comments follow recent online exchanges between the minister and broadcaster Paul Adom-Otchere.
Advice on Public Conduct
In a video shared on social media and sighted on April 15, 2026, Kwaku Manu urged the minister to avoid engaging in unnecessary public back-and-forths, noting that his position requires a higher level of discretion.
He emphasized that public officials must be mindful of how they respond to criticism, given the responsibilities attached to their roles.
Remarks on Leadership and Responsibility
The actor also reflected on the significance of the Ashanti Region, describing it as one of the most important regions in Ghana after Accra.
He cautioned that individuals in leadership positions should be careful in their public engagements, as their actions are closely observed by the public.
Caution Against Online Exchanges
Kwaku Manu further advised that constant engagement with critics could distract public officials from their duties.
He noted that leaders should focus more on their responsibilities rather than responding directly to every criticism they receive.
Broader Perspective
His comments add to ongoing discussions about how public officials manage criticism and communication in the digital age, where social media interactions often shape public perception.
