The Member of Parliament for Gomoa East, Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, has questioned the motive behind the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission's (GTEC) decision to investigate his honorary title.

According to him, GTEC appears to be influenced by certain shadowy individuals, whom he alleges are targeting only members of the ruling (NDC).

In a video shared by Channel One TV on Friday, June 20, 2025, on Facebook, the lawmaker acknowledged that his 'Dr' title was not earned through academic study, but clarified that it was conferred in recognition of his contributions to society. "I didn't earn anything by myself.
