Wednesday’s edition of Metro’s TV ‘Good Morning Ghana’ was marred by yet another unruly behavior displayed by the deputy Minister for the Interior, Kobby Acheampong, who was a guest on the live show. Mr Acheampong apparently lost his self control, and went for the jugular of the host, Shamima Muslim, attacking her personality. The deputy Minister accused her of being influenced by some unknown paymasters. He refused to respect her capacity as moderator of the show and rather accused her of playing tricks on the show when she insisted Kobby should stick to the subject under discussion and stop discussing other things that had not been raised for analysis. The deputy Minister was captured on the live programme throwing his hands around in anger and virtually pushing his fingers directly into the face of Shamima as he refused to allow her to play her role as host. “I understand the way you operate, I understand the way you operate very well and I won’t fall for that. I will not fall for your trick. You can ask your question but I will not fall for it,” Kobby charged on Shamima and basically refused to let her take control of the programme as he was asked to respond to a challenge thrown by Sammy Awuku that the NDC founder, Jerry John Rawlings and President Atta Mills were not on speaking terms. “You cannot now tell me what questions to ask. You are free not to answer…..what do you mean by you understand the way I operate? What do you mean by that? How do I operate? I ask you questions that you find uncomfortable? What tricks are you talking about? That if I have a question I cannot ask? You are free not to answer the question and that is Kobby Acheampong for you. Ah! I am not amused at all but anyway,” Shamima retorted. The deputy Minister’s behavior and refusal to let Shamima play her role led to an abrupt end to the programme and Daily Guide’s sources at the television station said Kobby continued to rain insults on her even after the show had been taken off air. The sources said the altercation continued even to the car park of Metro TV, drawing the attention of a small crowd to watch the drama of a deputy Minister insulting a female television host in public. Kobby was said to have bragged openly that he knew Shamima’s “pay masters” and also described her as a “stupid girl” who “jumps from one place to another” and an ‘aboa’, to wit a fool, as he walked to his car. He was also reported to have accused Shamima of receiving a text on the show from the so-called paymasters.
