Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has criticized broadcaster Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, for remarks alleged to have incited the youth of Obuasi to confront military personnel at the AngloGold Ashanti mine, resulting in a tragic clash that claimed eight lives.
This incident, rooted in tensions surrounding resource allocation in the mining town, has sparked intense debates across social and mainstream media platforms.
Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu expressed his disappointment, questioning why a media figure of Captain Smart's standing would make statements encouraging actions that could jeopardize lives and destabilize peace.
He emphasized the critical role journalists play in fostering unity and called for responsibility when discussing sensitive national matters.
