Social media users on Twitter have shared their thoughts on the interaction between President Akufo-Addo and BBC’s Peter Ōkwóchè.
President Akufo-Addo on Monday spoke about the Electronic Transaction levy (E-levy) Bill which has been passed into law, the country’s tourism sector and the Black Stars’ qualification to the 2022 World Cup on the Focus on Africa show.
According to some users, Peter Ōkwóchè must be lauded for asking thought-provoking questions and sharing his view of the Ghana economy – one he describes as “terrible”.
They have gone as far as comparing the work of Ōkwóchè to some journalists in Ghana who have had the opportunity to interact with the President on the state of the economy.
Users say these journalists played to the gallery instead of asking brazen questions.

At least the international community have seen that Ghana's economy is shambles, fragile and unbearable one across the globe.
